We were drifting toward viewing dcc as just another spam detector. Reliably diverting bulk to a bulk folder at the user level mail reader with no false positives is a solid feature. Conceivably spamassassin might be relieved of further work at the point dcc yields a Bulk Poz status header, but clamav ought still to be run in a less than perfect world, just in case anybody actually reads the stuff. What no false-positive bulk markup with no false positives on obscure mail list servers translates to for me is "guilt-free kill, safe to ignore, safe to delete the whole Bulk folder periodically". 100% is hard to find even in an incremental building block.Thread Previous | Thread Next
