Questions about tuning your personal anti-spam client seems to be
appropriate for customer support at your vendor not for the ASRG.

Just various FYI observations...

Over the weekend, I finally added [simple] "whitelist" and 
"blacklist" 
capabilities to my personal mail filtering system.

This still falls, FWIW, short of my proposed 'permissions 
list' capabilities, 
but it's a step in the right direction at least.

One interesting thing I noted as I went through much of the 
"suspense" E-mail 
that had accumulated over the last few weeks (and based 
primarily on content 
filtering) is that numerous of my ASRG digests had been 
routed as "suspect spam" 
due to Dave's sig file (the mail filtering system content 
filter found his 
telephone and fax numbers and decided that they looked like 
"bogus HTML tags"... 
which, of course, they are!).

I wonder if I should refine that particular criteria to say 
that only 'some 
number' of such bogus tags in a given e-mail ought to trigger 
the "it's probably 
spam!" determination...?  Anybody with any ideas on that topic?
