Hi -- I reinstalled SA 2.20 after running and then having to disable an earlier version some time ago. The new version doesn't seem to be catching as many spams as the old one, and as I was perusing the report on those it did find, I was surprised at some of the negative scores I saw assigned to some tests.
Grepping through 50_scores.cf, I found: score ALL_CAPS_SUBJECT -0.274 score BE_AMAZED -0.260 score COPYRIGHT_CLAIMED -1.568 score DEAR_SOMEBODY -0.468 score EXCUSE_6 -0.110 score GAPPY_TEXT -1.237 score HTML_WITH_BGCOLOR -0.546 score IN_REP_TO -4.431 score JAVASCRIPT_URI -1.607 score LINES_OF_YELLING_3 -1.518 score MAILTO_WITH_SUBJ -0.310 score NO_EXPERIENCE -1.063 score NO_QS_ASKED -0.773 score OPPORTUNITY -1.010 score PGP_SIGNATURE -2.095 score PORN_8 -4.248 score RATWARE -0.703 score REAL_THING -0.148 and it seems odd to me that some of these should lower the score. Why would "NO_QS_ASKED", "NO_EXPERIENCE", or "HTML_WITH_BGCOLOR" subtract from the total score? I can see that a small score might be appropriate, but I'd think that a negative score would be a sign that the message was legitimate. Or, do I misunderstand how scoring works?
