First, sorry for not reading the manual more closely before posting. I've got whitelisting and mods to the scoring going. Thanks to those who kindly suggested it.
Here are some things that I'm pretty sure that SpamAssassin cannot do, and maybe could or even should. Can SpamAssassin take conditional actions, depending on what it finds? 1. If there are WEB_BUGS or JAVASCRIPT_VERY_UNSAFE, or other dangerous or invasive things that 99.9% of us do NOT want executed or downloaded from someone's site, or if the SA score exceeds xx.xx, then defang_mime=1. Otherwise, defang_mime=0. 2. For a given set of codes--specified by the user--if any are found, or if SA score is within range from XX.XX to YY.YY, then use lengthy report in body, otherwise follow my normal settings. 3. Set 2 levels of spam probability, PROBABLE and POSSIBLE, with different codes in the subject line. Allow different settings (terse/lengthy, body/header, defang/no-def.) for each category. This is needed because you want to know about emails that came close to being classified as SPAM. If they were SPAM, then you'll need to increase the scores of certain rules. If not, then you may want to decrease certain scores.
