Really your best idea of what the spread for a given GA run is like is going to come from reading the top of the STATISTICS.txt. This will show things like average spam score, average nonspam score, average FP, average FN, etc. Comparing that information between releases will likely give you the best "feel" for how much to adjust your thresholds.

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.
