Successful sender verification ALONE doesn't tell you much, because it doesn't distinguish between a legit sender who uses DKIM and a spammer who uses DKIM (or a spammer abusing a large sender). This is why the default scores on DKIM_VERIFIED and DKIM_SIGNED are just enough to track the rule, and not enough to significantly affect the score

Thank you (and you too, mouss) for the explanation, this does make a lot of sense now. I guess I need to go through all my mail and find the DKIM info for the good sites.

Given that I get mail from company.tld and they used DKIM and I trust it if it passes, and given that company.tld is a company where I am getting mail from their employees and not from their clients (like not an ISP), does this look about right:

whitelist_from_dkim [EMAIL PROTECTED]
whitelist_from_dkim [EMAIL PROTECTED]
header __L_FROM_CTLD From:addr =~ /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/mi
meta     L_NOTVALID_CTLD !DKIM_VERIFIED && __L_FROM_CTLD
score    L_NOTVALID_CTLD 5

Which would, I think, score them a full 5 points up for failing DKIM, but give them a negative score from USER_IN_DKIM_WHITELIST?

And I assume that the dkim.cf that was in /etc/mail/spamassassin/ should be in /var/db/spamassassin/3.002.005/ instead?
