out of interest i wondering the same thing. mine was set to a default of 2.06 for a positive spam on RAZOR2_CHECK but some spam identified by that was still slipping through. i bumped my up to 3.06 to see what it did for a day. the joy of our setup is that even though it may mark it as spam it still gets delivered to the users. it's up to them what they do with their rules and stuff. i've educated them to be aware that it's not perfect and they should forward any false-positives to me.
if it's from a reputable mailing list or newsletter i simply chuck it in the while list. if a spam is getting through and we're getting quite a number of the same one, i chuck in the black list. simple... -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Buzzard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2003 9:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SAtalk] Razor question > > I know I can change the point scoring system in spamassassin, but I don't > > get the logic of the default set-up here: if an email is listed in Razor2, > > then how can it not be spam? > > It could be a newsletter or another legit mail, that has been > erraneously reported to Razor.

Well, if "listed in razor" means "lots of people got this email recently and we're still wondering whether it's spam", how about RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_91_100 (1.2 points) BODY: Razor2 gives a spam confidence level between 91 and 100 Surely now this says "lots of people got this email recently, and we're pretty sure it's spam". Why doesn't this score +100? I note in passing that none of grep RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_91_100 my_ham_mailbox grep PYZOR_CHECK my_ham_mailbox grep RAZOR2_CHECK my_ham_mailbox give me any output at all, i.e. none of my ham emails *at all* are listed in razor or pyzor. I notice also that *almost all* of the spam that lands in my inbox, i.e. that spamassassin misses, triggers razor or pyzor, but that this wasn't enough. I am coming to the conclusion that, for _me_ at least, bumping up the scores for these three tests might be a good idea. I am running this past the newsgroup so they can tell me what disasters are about to befall me!
