Re: List online archives and spam

Great.

Lookout isn't a problem, users are. More specific stupid users who click on
almost everything, and use the preview pane because it's easier to be able
to read a message as soon as it arrives..

How much I dislike Lookout, it's about the only mailclient which runs
properly on XP.

X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.3 required=5.0
        tests=IN_REP_TO,RCVD_IN_UNCONFIRMED_DSBL,SPAM_PHRASE_01_02,
              SUBJECT_IS_LIST,USER_AGENT_OUTLOOK
        version=2.44

this is what spamassassin adds to your incoming email. makes it
very easy to spot spam. and has very few false positives.

when it's a really bonafide suspect (much higher score) you can
see lots more tests plus it changes the subject so yuo can tell
at a glance that it's spam.

the above sample status is from the very message i'm replying
to.

so, you use outlook? eesh! :)
