The fact that Habeas are very litigious when it comes to protecting their haiku doesn't alter the fact that is it intrinsically a very abusable system. We're not talking about some trusted cryptographic algorithm spoofed in an email header, the mark is a series of easy-to-forge text which any spammer can insert in their email for instant -8.0 weighting.
I admire their quest to attack the problem at the source and hope that they continue to do so, but in the meantime - as a systems administrator under pressure from management and customers alike who have been deluged by Habeas-tainted spam - I have little alternative but to zero their HABEAS_SWE score.
