I have recently installed spamassassin on my mail server. I have
supplimented it with a few rules of my own in local.cf and it is doing a
great job, catching ~90-95% of the spam.
However, I got this one crazy message today that seems to be ignored by most
of the rules and I can't figure out why??
As is, the message gets a rather low score (3.8) being caught by only a
handful of rules. However, if I make ANY changes to the first part of
this mime message (the text part) then the message gets a much higher
score (15.8) that would cause it to be tagged, correctly, as spam.
By ANY change, I mean I can add a blank line, delete a blank line, insert
any single character, etc.
I don't understand this behavior so I have no idea how to counter it.
Any thought, suggestions or info??
Included are two attachments, one is the original message, the other is
a copy to which I have added a single character. The first scores 3.8,
the second scores 15.8 (9.8 if no local rules).
Thanks,
--
