I'm still completely puzzled why anyone who isn't a spammer would be interested in Habeas.
Because spam is about consent, not content, but spam filters can only check content. Hence the problem of false positives.
Unless you're intending to offset positive scores from spam why bother with habeas?
Remember, positive scores don't come from spam, they come from traits found in spam. And some of those traits also show up in legit mail, if less often. SA doesn't know that someone's newsletter about drug benefits is confirmed opt-in, it only knows that it mentions pharmacies and certain products, and has a web bug pointing to sometrackingcompany.biz. If that pushes it over the limit, the newsletter gets ignored/bounced/discarded/whatever.
Plus, of course, SA isn't the only spam filter out there, and there are still plenty of sites using homegrown filters that just bounce anything containing certain words. And if there's a way to offset those false positives that is either difficult to forge or difficult to forge without consequences, that's a good thing.
In the past, Habeas has successfully sued spammers who were forging their headers. That means they've not only shown they mean business, but they've got case precedent on their side for the next suit. The question right now is how long it'll take to find the offenders and get a court to issue an injunction.
