When first reading about SA after my host made it available to me, I found this at http://www.spamassassin.org/full/2.6x/dist/README > - required_hits: Set this higher to make SpamAssassin less sensitive. > If you are installing SpamAssassin system-wide, this is **strongly** > recommended! I took that to heart, and set required_hits to 9.0 I've been using 9.0 consistently on three domains since April. I successfully and consistently trap 99.8% of all spam. I have increased some (well, several dozen) of the scores for distribution rules, but it seems with each release of SA more and more of those become obsolete (I'm down to 2/3 of the adjustments I had back with 2.53).
