Re: Messages receiving High Score but still getting through

I use qmail-scanner so my setup is a little different. I've never seen a score of "s" before. I do occasionally have a similar problem. Sometimes a message gets a score of "?" and the required score is also shown as "?". I haven't figured out what causes that, but when I run that message through sa

Re: Messages receiving High Score but still getting through

I think you may misunderstand. We have a certain email, that is spam. Lets call it 'A'. When the email A passes through the mail system, it is grabbed by MailScanner, which in turn puts it through SpamAssassin. The mail is then delivered if the score is less than the threshhold (5), otherwise qu

Messages receiving High Score but still getting through

Hi all, I am relatively new to SpamAssassin and I am having a bit of difficulty tracking down the reason for some spam messages getting through. When I test the message it comes up with score of say 23 points with 5 required. To me this indicates that it should have been stopped as spam, however
