I think I received my first " Habeas SWE (tm)" email today and what do you know, it's V|@gra spam.
X-Habeas-SWE-1: winter into spring X-Habeas-SWE-2: brightly anticipated X-Habeas-SWE-3: like Habeas SWE (tm) X-Habeas-SWE-4: Copyright 2002 Habeas (tm) X-Habeas-SWE-5: Sender Warranted Email (SWE) (tm). The sender of this X-Habeas-SWE-6: email in exchange for a license for this Habeas X-Habeas-SWE-7: warrant mark warrants that this is a Habeas Compliant X-Habeas-SWE-8: Message (HCM) and not spam. Please report use of this X-Habeas-SWE-9: mark in spam to <http://www.habeas.com/report/>. ... X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.60 (1.212-2003-09-23-exp) on hevelius.linuxtech.com X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-6.0 required=4.0 tests=BAYES_50,BIZ_TLD,CLICK_BELOW, HABEAS_SWE,HTML_50_60,HTML_LINK_CLICK_HERE,HTML_MESSAGE, MIME_HTML_ONLY,MIME_HTML_ONLY_MULTI,RCVD_IN_SORBS autolearn=ham version=2.60 X-Spam-Level: Can someone explain why HABEAS_SWE -8.0 was allowed to happen? It is a stupid idea in my opinion! I am supposed to submit my email address to this place to report spam. Sounds like the typical spammer saying they will take you off a list... And I would have to pay them money for our newsletter, why would I want to pay them? If SA will include this bogus HABEAS_SWE stuff, how about including our minus points for our domains, especially our newsletter at starrymessenger.net? I heard about efforts to have some gpg like headers in email, now that sounds like something that could work well. Can someone point me to such a place? This is cute... http://www.habeas.com/company.html "Habeas began as an ingenious solution to a newly discovered problem. One evening, our chairman and founder was playing with SpamAssassin. While he loved the fact that it filtered out unwanted emails, he noticed that some valuable legitimate emails were getting mis-classified as spam and blocked from his in-box. To solve the problem, he took a little poetic license and dreamed up the Habeas haiku x-headers. Now we're a Palo Alto-based company using poetry and the law to fight spam and help your wanted email get through." Ingenious my ass! I expect them to be on fuckedcompany.com as another dot bomb. Other than this issue and the earlier RBL problem which wasn't SA's fault, I am quite pleased with how well SA is reducing our spam problem.
