The _MINFP variant was my adding some FP avoidance rules (different ones than in the TVD_SPACE_RATIO rule) to try to improve the performance of the base rule. http://ruleqa.spamassassin.org/?rule=%2FTVD_SPACE_RATIO The _MINFP version is apparently performing better, and should probably replace the base TVD_SPACE_RATIO rule. -- John Hardin KA7OHZ http://www.impsec.org/~jhardin/ jhardin [at] impsec FALaholic #11174 pgpk -a jhardin [at] impsec key: 0xB8732E79 -- 2D8C 34F4 6411 F507 136C AF76 D822 E6E6 B873 2E79 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Warning Labels we'd like to see #1: "If you are a stupid idiot while using this product you may hurt yourself.
