In /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf I have the following rules:

# amika
header AMIKA_SPAM X-AmikaGuardian-Action =~ /Junk Mail/
score AMIKA_SPAM 2
header AMIKA_BUSINESS X-AmikaGuardian-Action =~ /Business/
score AMIKA_BUSINESS -2

"AmikaGuardian" is Speakeasy's (pretty awful, but getting better) spam filter. So this morning, I get a spam that is loads of random words in font color #ffffff, and one image with a viagra spam message. Jerks!

Anyways, The Amika headers looked like this:

X-AmikaGuardian-Category: AN:HTML Clues : 15.4
X-AmikaGuardian-Category: AN:Picky HTML Clues : 15.0
X-AmikaGuardian-Category: AN:Obvious Clues : 15.4
X-AmikaGuardian-Category: AN:Spam Structure : 15.4
X-AmikaGuardian-Category: AN:Junk Mail : 15.4
X-AmikaGuardian-Category: AN:Spam : 15.4
X-AmikaGuardian-Action: Trigger(Junk Mail)

I would have imagined that the "Trigger(Junk Mail)" would have hit the AMIKA_SPAM rule, and the message would have been weighted 2 more in the direction of spam. As it is:

X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.5 required=4.0
tests=AMIKA_SPAM,HTML_70_80,MIME_HTML_ONLY,RCVD_IN_SBL
version=2.55
X-Spam-Level: ***
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.55 (1.174.2.19-2003-05-19-exp)

it was .5 away, and I would never have had to see this.

Is there a problem with my rules, above? Or is it that sa isn't reading rules from local.cf? I can't add this to my user_prefs because I'm using qmail with virtual domains so there aren't specific users I can use here.

Thanks in advance
alex
