Greetings,
My weekend spam assassination resumed yesterday, when I found a few hour to
implement the suggestions from the list last month (well, some of them -- there
were so many good suggestions).
I upgraded SA to 3.0.4. That went as smooth as silk.
Installed Razor 2.75. Very much unlike my previous attempt to install Razor
1.x, this also went very smoothly. It took me about 2 hours to download the
software, upgrade SA, install Razor, read the docs and configure everything to
work together.
My spam detection rate has improved significantly. So a hearty thanks to all
the list members who answered my cries for help last month!
Now, my question. I have upped the scored for the RAZOR rules by adding a
morerazor.cf file to my /etc/mail/spamassassin directory with something like
score RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_51_100 0 (1.5) 0 (1.5)
score RAZOR2_CHECK 0 (1.5) 0 (1.5)
This has gotten my spam detection rates above the 97% mark for the first time.
I'd like to consider raising the RAZOR rule scores more, but I want to
understand the difference between the scores before I do that.
It seems obvious that RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_XX_YY means that the razor server give
this message between an X and Y probability of being spam.
But what does the RAZOR2_CHECK score mean? Poking around, I would guess that it
means that Razor has determined the "confidence" value for the message is
higher than the threshold I've configured in the Razor config files; but I can
find no documentation that states that.
TIA,
James
