3.75 which is where I have set the bar for spam.

mail server because everything is set to a reply address of my colleges domain. When the emails come through, I can look at the header and see that the email is getting tripped up by 3 rules - no_real_name, AWL and looking for a while but only found some real basic info on no_real_name but didn't tell me much. Havent found anything on the other. Right now the emails in question are scoring around 7.62. Trying to get it below

Firstly, 3.75 is a very low threshold, you may want to rethink this.

NO_REAL_NAME means just that, instead of having:
        From: "John Doe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
it just has:
        From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

This is usually because the sender didn't specify a name to be used.

AWL is AutoWhiteListing, you can find out more about it in the SA wiki:
<http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/AutoWhitelist>

BAYES_00 means that SA thought the message was definitely ham.

If you provided the full text of SA's report for the message and the version of SA you're running people might be able to give you some further pointers.
