[..] 11 days have passed and I must say that I am very pleased with the result of this experiment until now. AFAICT, the number of spam messages that have slipped through is not that big, IMHO, taking into account that there has been a peak in spam quantities these days[1] (those spam messages with urls in them) and that the quantities of mails that we had to process manually were quite big, compared to what we have to do now. My main target was to make sure that legitimate mail passes through without the need to interfere with moderation/approval and hold for moderation suspect mail. > Thanks for understanding. Again, thanks for your patience. To Miriam and Gonéri: please don't touch the current configuration of the list. I think I still can make a few teaks here and there to make the thing give less false negatives (headers is he key, if anyone's intrestred). Moderation assistance is appreciated ;-) . [1] As a matter of fact this precise peak was the reason of my frustration topped by the fact that some legitimate mail was dropped in manual processing due to understandable human error. -- Regards, EddyP ============================================= "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein
