Can you give an idea of the size calculation? I'm wanting to do this,
but I need to figure out how much space I need to allocate per user!
Thanks for the clarifications, this is super helpful.

ons are to turn down the score for bayes, so it has
less of an impact, maybe turn off bayes auto-learning, or just simply
disabling bayes altogether.

I understand that UTF-8 From and Subject are legitimate, so I do not

No, I don't trust my users. In fact because of that we moved from doing

DKIM_VERIFIED causing the score to dip below zero and let the message

I am thinking of actually increasing the score because of this.
micah
I'm getting a number of these types of emails getting through SA with
either negative scores, or very low scores. This is surprising to me as
these are pretty classic spams. I suspect that some of the low scores
are due being DKIM signed.
Does anyone have any rules to catch these, or suggestions

like these would be better scored higher than that.
