<p class="MsoNormal" style="" mce_style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="color: black;" mce_style="color:black">I really like the watermarking and find it useful and
currently have it set to add 3 points to the SA score. I was wondering if there
is an easy way to get it to appear as a SA rule rather than just adding to the
score? It’s easier to explain if it is in a spam report than having to explain
the SA score is 3 points high because of something you can’t see... </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="" mce_style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="color: black;" mce_style="color:black">I was thinking of a SA rule based on a header that is set
if the message fails watermarking? Then I can turn off the rule in MS itself and
just let SA mark the mail.</span></p>

color:black">Why would you wish to add 3 points to the score ? I thought that
watermarking was to prevent backscatter plus the ability to bypass spam checks
if the email originated from your server. Would you not wish to reduce the
score by 3 points if the watermark was valid; unless I am missing something ?<br>

color:#1F497D">Currently we don’t outright reject emails without a watermark as
some of our users still send email via other means and we don’t have a way of
preventing that at the moment. I could exclude their domains from watermark
checking, but until then its easier to add a few points to the spam score and
let that and the other SA ratings take care of it.</span></p>

</div><br></blockquote>Jason, I see where you are coming from now ... Looking at the code I do not think it would be that difficult to add this in; similar to the way SaneSecurity sigs etc are handled. Let me perform a bit more research and will see if I can get a patch together.<span><br><br>Thanks, Phil<br></span><br><br><br><br><br></div></body></html>
