Description Sam Katz 2003-04-05 11:47:06 UTC 
Habeas is a company and activist effort by which mailing lists can declare
themselves "not spam" by placing a trademarked haiku in the header. If they lie,
they are sued for trademark infringement. I have e-mailed my mailing lists that
use double opt-in encouraging them to use this technique, but spam assassin does
not appear to support it.

Can anyone help with this?

This has been supported (by default) since 2.40!

I'm assuming you read the slashdot story... but you evidently missed the link to
the page explaining that "support for Habeas SWE has been built in to
SpamAssassin version 2.40, so that there is no need to manually configure
SpamAssassin to work with Habeas SWE if you are using version 2.40 or later"

By the way, I've seen a few folks using *some* of the Habeas headers and
wondering why SA doesn't support that.  Make sure you're using all 10 of the
headers, and
do not reformat them; as Habeas explains, you have to use them exactly verbatim
to gain the benefits (for legal reasons, apparently).
