P.s. I wonder what other tricks you have up your sleeve that you would be willing to share. :)

Hi Kurt,


On the contrary, most spam i see is valid DKIM signed...   tons of
hacked sites... tons of emails from free trials of big-cheeses...

Nevertheless...

meta        NO_DKIM_SIGNED        ! DKIM_SIGNED
score NO_DKIM_SIGNED        2
describe NO_DKIM_SIGNED        Email does not have DKIM signature


That alone is too risky to score alone and should be used in a meta rule
like this:

meta    SPAM_NOT_DKIM_SIGNED    !DKIM_SIGNED && (MISSING_HEADERS ||
FSL_BULK_SIG || RDNS_DYNAMIC || OTHER_RULE_COMMONLY_SEEN_AS_SPAM)
score   SPAM_NOT_DKIM_SIGNED    2
describe SPAM_NOT_DKIM_SIGNED   Spammy characteristics and not DKIM signed


Pedro.

I caution against this since non-DKIM signed email has no relation to
spam or ham.  How did you come up with the "about 90%" number?  Did you
grep logs to get real numbers over a couple of months?

Any compromised account from Office 365 (and there are a lot) is going
to have DKIM_SIGNED by Microsoft's "tenant.onmicrosoft.com" domain which
means absolutely nothing when determining ham/spam.  All that means is
it was signed by Microsoft mail servers on the way out.  If DKIM_VALID
was hit, then it means the spam wasn't modified.
