More SPAM? - RESOLVED!!!

[Chris Trudeau]

Martin,

I agree with you 100% about the accuracy and dependability...however...I
find the RBL checks (while somewhat expensive performance-wise) valueable in
jacking the scores of my SPAMs into the "HIGH-SPAM" category.  Which I still
quarantine, but handle differently across different domains.

So a SPAM that might only score 6.5-10 with RBLS a significant percentage
now score MUCH higher allowing me to ensure accurate automated learning for
the bayes database.....

just my $.02...another side of the coin I suppose.
