(These comments are based on the few dozen mainly spam messages I've fed to "spamassassin -t", and some reading of the spamassassin mailing list archives.) Low scores for some obvious spam-only indicators (javascript -- no valid mail will ever contain javascript) Any html is a strong spam indicator. High scores for some things that could easily be tripped by valid email. (common spam phrases) Negative score for long messages. Long messages are more likely to be spam, not less. The current auto-whitelist implementation seems to have some problems. I haven't yet figured out how to configure which DNSBLs are used. It only seems to catch about 60% of the spam that gets past my other filters. (ordb, osirusoft, blarsbl, valid rDNS of relay, valid domain in envelope from) (These catch about 90% of the spam, and an occasional valid email.) I think most of these problems stem from their mail base their scores are based on being very different from the mail I receive.
