Hi,
I am new at spam filtering and have recently installed SA 3.1.1 on a
RedHat E L 3 mailserver. I am using a procmailrc to invoke SA and
.procmailrc for individual users. There are two spam folders, one for
score between 5 and 10 and the other for spam score >= 10. I read the faq
on rounding issues in Filtering and Labeling but my problem is slightly
different. I find that 3 or 4 times I have received messages in my Inbox
(Pine) that score 9 or more when scanned manually with SA. I have a
spamtrap to which I can send false negatives but this is different because
SA scores the message (manually) at a level where it should send it to
either one of the spam folders and not to Inbox. It would be
understandable if, due to insufficient learning, SA scored the message
low and placed it in the Inbox. I have received a couple of hundred spam
messages and 3 or 4 such messages (with scores 9, 13, 19) have gone to
the Inbox.
Thanks
Saleem
Sometimes the time between the original scan and the manual scan is enough
for several black lists to have added the involved addresses.
Make sure you do not have multiple passes of SpamAssassin.
Is the procmail rule for the diversions to the spam directory misbehaving.
(What part of the headers are you using as your spam/ham and score
discriminator?)
