Hi,
I restart spamd everytime I change local.cf and unfortunately John changing
the value as you've suggested and as I mentioned I had already tried,
doesn't actually change the score it assigns. Still trying to figure this
out.
...whoops, I didn't catch that, sorry...
SA supports multiple config files, they are parsed in
sorted-by-filename-order. Are there multiple .cf files in your local
config folder and is the score for that rule being set in one that sorts
after the one you're editing?
Also: if the score was zero it would be suppressed entirely. The score is
probably 0.001 (advisory).
The base scores are:
score HTML_FONT_LOW_CONTRAST 0.713 0.001 0.786 0.001
...so depending on your config that score may be coming from base, and
your local changes *should* be overriding it.
And - silly question - are you *sure* you're editing the *correct* local
config file?

I think he might also need to restart spamd/amavisd/whatever to have the
local.cf change take place.

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.
