Hello,

I'm trying to determine how many spamassassin hits are appropriate for
tagging messages at different levels of it possibly being spam.

I have spamassassin 2.31 running on a production machine, and figured out
some good numbers for that situation. I installed 2.43 on a different
machine, and it's producing MUCH different results.

With the sample-spam.txt that ships with 2.43:
        2.31 returns 30.1 hits
        2.43 returns 14.7 hits
These were both run in the same way (spamassassin -t < sample-spam.txt)

The results output shows much lower point definitions for the items it
finds in 2.43, but both match the same 16 rules.

Can anyone offer some advice on how much existing filters for hit numbers
should be adjusted? For example, a score of 7 on 2.31 corrolates to X.X on
2.43? ...if I devide all my current client hit settings by 2.047 (ratio from
30.1/14.7) will I get the same results I'd expect from the previous version?

I was also wondering if the hit numbers returned normally change this much
much between releases. Is this something that will need adjusted on every
release? or was this something that changed once and isn't likely to
change for a while?

Thanks for your advice,
--
Josh I.
(if this is answered in a FAQ somewhere, please let me know, I couldn't
find it)
