[SAtalk] List moderation and spam removal

2004-01-20 Thread Sean McCrohan
I moderate a mailing list that's hosted off of a third-party server to which I don't have direct access (beyond the simplistic web-interface of the list-management software). The list is (and must be) open to mail from non-members, and thus collects huge amounts of spam. My plan for fixing this w

[SAtalk] Looking at Bayes details?

2003-12-16 Thread Sean McCrohan
In the past week or so, I've had a string of spam messages that were flagged as BAYES_00. At a glance, I haven't been able to see anything obvious that would have earned that rating, but I don't really want to go through all of the tokens in the database by hand. Is there a way to get SA to retu

[SAtalk] Scanning separately by size

2003-10-02 Thread Sean McCrohan
Presently, because of limited system resources, I've set a very conservative max-scan-size for spamc - I don't want to burden the system with grinding through those large files. However, this generally means that large messages come straight through :) In almost all cases, very large messages get

My mail box is an old clunker, hauled out of the closet and put back into service...it's a P-200, running RH9. My current configuration has spamc called on arriving messages via the global procmailrc, prior to delivery - single shared database for all users. Unfortunately, due to the way mail arriv

[SAtalk] X-Spam-Status and content scoring disagree?

This is my first week with SpamAssassin, so I may be missing something obvious, but the message I've attached sections of below puzzled me. While the body report scores it at 7.1 points, the X-Spam-Status in the header only gives it 1.8 - this is the first time I've seen the two differ. Is this c
