I installed SpamAssassin via CPAN a few days ago, and I've been pretty impressed with it. Its pretty much ran flawlessly, but I've noticed one case where I don't understand why a certain test is getting a hit.
The message in question is an amazon.com ad email. I ran spamassassin with -t and this is what I get: ----- >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Apr 27 16:48:29 2002 Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received: from mta401.mail.yahoo.com (mta401.mail.yahoo.com [216.136.128.53]) by mail.plexserve.com (Postfix) with SMTP id 75E38ABAE for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Sat, 27 Apr 2002 13:59:14 -0500 (CDT) Received: from mta401.mail.yahoo.com for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Apr 27 11:59:10 2002 -0700 X-Yahoo-Forwarded: from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received: from mm-outgoing-101.amazon.com (207.171.188.101) by mta401.mail.yahoo.com with SMTP; 27 Apr 2002 11:59:10 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail-ems-104.amazon.com by mm-outgoing-101.amazon.com with ESMTP (crosscheck: mail-ems-104.amazon.com [10.16.42.233]) id LAA-6345750-17554; Sat, 27 Apr 2002 11:24:34 -0700 Received: by mail-ems-104.amazon.com id AAA-6345750-17713,2726; 27 Apr 2002 11:24:18 -0700 Date: 27 Apr 2002 11:24:18 -0700 Message-ID: <.AAA-6345750-17713,[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-AMAZON-TRACK: 6345750 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: "Amazon.com" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Treat Mom to a Sweet Gift on May 12 Bounces-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Multipart/Alternative;boundary=MuLtIpArT_BoUnDaRy X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-101.3 required=5.0 tests=DEAR_SOMEBODY,WEB_BUGS,USER_IN_WHITELIST version=2.20 X-Spam-Level: <BODY SNIPPED> SPAM: -------------------- Start SpamAssassin results ---------------------- SPAM: This mail is probably spam.
