You're not dense. I'm going to zero the habeas scores on my copy of
|
|
SpamAssassin. I think they were added to SA quite prematurely. To me it's
|
|
simple:
|
|
|
|
1. People who send me legitimate email have absolutely no motivation to use
|
|
Habeas, at least until it gets lots more press, and even then only
|
|
bulk-mailing companies like Amazon or eBay are going to bother, and I
|
|
already whitelist them. Individuals won't bother.
|
|
|
|
2. Spammers have lots of motivation to forge the Habeas headers, and a good
|
|
percentage of them are completely out of the legal reach of Habeas.
|
|
|
|
I think it should be subjected to the same testing and scrutiny as any other
|
|
potential new rule. When I test against my corpus here's what I get:
|
|
|
|
OVERALL SPAM NONSPAM S/O SCORE NAME
|
|
13851 8919 4932 0.64 0.00 (all messages)
|
|
0 0 0 0.00 -1.00 HABEAS_SWE
|
|
|
|
The score of -1.0 is pretty harmless right now, but it still looks like a
|
|
useless rule so far.
