Tao, make sure your Bayes tests are working correctly. Then raise the
score for BAYES_99 almost to 5, if it is not hitting more than one
item ultimately scored as ham per day, and slightly boost the BAYES_95
score. With that and a nice juicy selection of SARE rules 5 is a rather
nice number to work with. Those two changes are what has caused 5.0
to be such a good choice here. Very VERY little ham reaches 5.0. And
most spam is above 6.5 or 7 with about one or two in 100 under 6.5.
Without the well trained Bayes I don't think I'd be doing near as well
as I am at the moment.
(The other trick involves a small set of meta rules that fires if I
have a mailing list that is "open" and gets some spam flowing through
it. This amplifies the difference from the BAYES_50 score for most of
the other BAYES_xxx scores. This one change killed off most of the
errors I was getting from things like the FreeBSD, LKML, and other
such mailing lists. I should write it up and share it through SARE
pretty soon. I am pretty happy with it right now, although it is
awkward to maintain. It may need a plugin to snarf up the list of
list identifier tests that should be used at a given site.)

Hi, John
Now I understand what MIME_BOUND_RKFINDY mean. It means my email is
generated by Indy component. And I have some misuse of the Indy component
that it gen the html email is not so clean. Once I fix it, my email score
from 2.4 downto 0.5!
And I think I will keep my cutoff score as 2 because I get so many spam
every day and some of them just score 2.3!
Cheers,
Tao

You can find out what the tests are here:
http://spamassassin.apache.org/tests_3_1_x.html
Your cutoff is pretty low:
>X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=2.4 required=2.0
Your cutoff is less than half the recommended 5.0. You will be
rejecting a lot of valid mail (as you have seen).
