I have been trying to tune scores to achieve better matches with spam that
is getting through. And one test which shows up is HTML_FONT_LOW_CONTRAST
which is being scored for 0. Doing a scan of my incoming mail flow this is
a huge signal, perhaps even a disqualifying one as I have yet to find a
legitimate piece of email where this is true and it isn't spam.

So in my local.cf file I added:

score HTML_FONT_LOW_CONTRAST 10

To have it add 10 points to the spam score, recompiled rules and restarted
spamd. Yet it still gives it 0 points.

0.0 HTML_FONT_LOW_CONTRAST BODY: HTML font color similar or identical to
                           background

How do I change this value?

In your local config file:

  score   HTML_FONT_LOW_CONTRAST   1.000   # or whatever score you prefer


The reason it scores so low in the base ruleset is the S/O is *very* low in the masscheck corpora - 0.114 - 4% spam hits vs. 31% ham hits.

You might want to be careful if you intend to treat that as a poison pill by itself...

I'll take a look at whether its performance can be improved.
