>>> There are spams hitting negative scoring rules e.g. MAILING_LIST_MULTI,
>>> RCVD_IN_RP_*, RCVD_IN_IADB_* and they are constantly trained as ham.
Just a reminder, if you ever receive spam which is tagged as RCVD_IN_IADB (or
*any* flavour of IADB tag) *please* forward it to me personally and I will
personally make sure that whoever it is sending it is soundly whacked.
We do *not* have a sense of humour about anyone sending anything that is not
100% true opt-in (if not confirmed opt-in) - and we do *not* certify anyone who
is doing anything less - and if we find that someone's practices have slipped
and they are being sloppy with permission, we fire them. Our definition of
spam is the definition that Paul (Vixie) and I put forward years ago:
“An electronic message is “spam” IF: (1) the recipient’s personal identity and
context are
irrelevant because the message is equally applicable to many other potential
recipients;
AND (2) the recipient has not verifiably granted deliberate, explicit, and
still-revocable
permission for it to be sent; AND (3) the transmission and reception of the
message
appears to the recipient to give a disproportionate benefit to the sender.”
Anything less is grounds for immediate termination.
So, again, if you ever find anything that triggers an IADB rule that is not
something for which you/your user affirmatively opted in, we want to know about
it.
