How does World Net determine what is spam and what is not?
The Spam process is a very complicated process, using a large array of tests and filters to analyze all types of patterns, phrases, spellings, words, and grammar. We use a custom filtering process based on the Spam Assassin engine that is similar to a school teacher grading an English paper. Basically, we have a large set of rules, phrases and spam traits that are all given a ‘weighted score’ of points, anywhere from .1 to 205.0. The filtering system completely combs through the E-Mail and runs it though all of our filters giving credit points for some things, and taking away points on others. After it completes analyzing the mail, it adds up the TOTAL and compares this with the DEFAULT SCORE, of 6.0 (unless modified by user). Example Scoring: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.0.x-World Net_3.15 (2006-xx-xx) on rooster.World Net.com X-Spam-Level: ********************** X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=22.3 required=6.0 tests=BAYES_99,HTML_90_100, HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_04,HTML_MESSAGE,HTML_MIME
