Henri,

Yeah, that's probably a good idea. I've noticed that those rules are useful
in detecting real spam though, so zeroing them out will decrease the
performance of the filter noticeably for detecting spam, but it's probably
worth it for the reduction in false positives.

Thanks for the tip.

I'll give it a go.

It's not possible to zero a rule only if another rule is true is it ? For
instance scoring those 3 rules as zero only if the "from" address is from my
domain ? I haven't noticed any problems with these rules apart from our road
warriers.

Chris
