Maybe it is good for -16, but in every case I looked at that passed thought with habeas set, none of them set the violator, and every single one was flagrantly spam.
I have several email servers I manage, and will set some to zero and leave some alone and see how things change. these folks had a great idea, but fell short. To have made it work right, habeas.com should have set up a server that, when queried with the right authority, released a code that could be included in the outgoing email. It should be random code, that can only be recognized by the habeas server when queried by the receiving server. The way it is now, it is just another header that can be added by a spammer, and as long as nobody turns him in to habeas.net, he is guaranteed an easier path for his junk.

Just be nice when you do it) Terry. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Scott Lambert Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2004 1:43 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SAtalk] Turning off Habeas?

Don't do that! You'll miss out on the HABEAS_VIOLATOR rule. Set it to -0.001 if you want, but don't kill it off. HABEAS_VIOLATOR is good for +16. A lot of people on this list need to calm down and stop over-reacting. I seem to remember something about babies and bathwater. -- Scott Lambert KC5MLE Unix SysAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
