A lot of these are private rules I wrote myself. But every once in a while I'll see a message that should have been rejected by a standard SA install but wasn't... Could have to do with the custom scoring or with the way that auto-whitelists work... You also might not have a complete SA install, with SPF turned on (for instance). I could share my rules, but it would have to be out-of-band, since any spammer could then look at the list archives and figure out how to get around them. Hence my comment about wanting to reach the list admins directly. -Philip ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
