Thanks for a most helpful user-experience report. This was the sort
of answer I was hoping for (rather than the dismal RTFM kind of
response...)

I reckon that would be very interesting. On the flip-side, though, it
might also get used by spammers as a recipe book of things to avoid.
But on balance I do think it would be useful to find out which
indicators people have found useful, and which not. In general terms
that could be a subject for a non-specific mail-abuse list, but it's
nice to know about things which which people found practical to apply
in an exim context.

thanks once again for your helpful response

all the best
