One of the issues (I won't say "problems") with SA 2.6x is that the autolearn_as_ham threshold is set at 0.1. This means that a spammer who manages get a message through at a score of 0.0 (by hitting very low scoring rules, or no rules at all) will get their message autolearned as ham. To be honest, though, I can't think of any way round this, short of re-introducing the negative-scoring rules of early 2.5x which spammers will then proceed to abuse (as they did with 2.5x) :-( Martin -- Martin Radford | "Only wimps use tape backup: _real_ [EMAIL PROTECTED] | men just upload their important stuff -o) Registered Linux user #9257 | on ftp and let the rest of the world /\\ - see http://counter.li.org | mirror it ;)" - Linus Torvalds _\_V ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
