I only knew of the "score" test. I'd like to learn what other tests there are and how to use them. Where should I go for that? Are there any whitelist* tests other than whitelist_from?
I am very new to SpamAssassin. Tell me if I understand it correctly:
SpamAssassin performs a series of tests on an email. For each test performed, a value is added/subtracted. There is a certain "threshold" which sepparates spam from "ham".
Do I understand this correctly? If so, then I have two more questions:
- How do I find out my threshold? How do I change it? - What is the threshold for "whitelist_from"? How do I change it?
These questions will all be answered by reading the proper manpage:
man Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf
but in short:
Most of the settings you ask about have defaults, but anything in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf will take precedence over whatever the default is. This way you can change your thresholds without having to edit the default ruleset, etc.
the default threshold is 5.0 and you can change it by adding a required_hits statement to your local.cf.. ie: required_hits 6.0 will raise it to 6.
whitelist_from and whitelist_from_rcvd have a score of -100. You can change it with a new score statement for the USER_IN_WHITELIST rule.
