I'm scanning mail flowing through a mail server (on its way to our internal mail server) using amavisd-new and SpamAssassin 2.31. Works great; it's literally changed my life.
In /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf, I have: required_hits 5 (which I think is the default anyway), so all mail with a score of 5 or higher should get tagged as spam. However, we recently had a user report a spam that didn't get tagged. I can include the entire spam if requested, but I don't think it's really important to my question. In the headers was this: X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-new amavisd-new-20020630 X-Spam-Status: No, hits=6.5 tagged_above=5.1 required=6.9 tests=PLING, MONEY_BACK, CLICK_BELOW, POR N_14, CLICK_HERE_LINK, FREQ_SPAM_PHRASE X-Razor-id: d92173a8dfc60567e55efcf6bf264fd7f7a7369a Doesn't hits=6.5 mean that it should be tagged as spam? Why the X-Spam-Status of no then? Perhaps I am misunderstanding what the different fields mean. The docs seem to indicate what hits= is the spam score this email got, and required= is the required level before it is tagged as spam. However, this begs the question: Why is required=6.9 if I have required_hits at 5 in the local.cf? Where the heck does that number come from? Also, what is tagged_above=? I cannot find any information about it on the SpamAssassin site. thanks! johnS ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
