I have been using an outdated system-wide version of SpamAssassin for the last few months, but more and more spam was getting through. So the last few days, I have been working on getting the latest version of SA installed in my own personal area, and despite careful perusal of the documentation, I still have a few unanswered questions..
Firstly, I can bring up the list of tests, but is there any way that I can find out more explanation of the tests? There are really two aspects to this question - the brief descriptions of the tests often refer to technical details about mail delivery that I (as a user, not administrator) have never needed to know about - for example FAKE_HELO_AOL refers to "Host HELO did not match rDNS". Is there anywhere that gives a basic explanation of what this means with respect to SpamAssassin? In addition, there are some things that I can understand, but cannot figure out any reason for the points assigned to them - for example why is HTML_00_10 worth a point, while HTML_20_30 worth only 0.69 points? Secondly, I am recently getting a lot of Spam that uses constructs of the following form: <p>Ban</duquesne>ned C</snazzy>D Gov</easygoing> where words are separated by non-existent tags... the only rule that it fired was HTML_MESSAGE. Is this right or should there be one.. I am using v2.61 just installed, all defaults except for a couple of whitelist/blacklist entries in user_prefs..
