Yup, as Michael said, default with SA 3.2.x is a spam threshold of 12. However, this uses a non-Bayes rule-set for score evaluation. Thus, some rules contribute a different score for auto-learning (used for comparison against the auto-learn thresholds only) than they are doing for the final spam score, with Bayes enabled. Moreover, some rules are not even taken into account, like Bayes and AWL for example. See the docs. http://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.2.x/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Plugin_AutoLearnThreshold.html > Default is 12.0. Above this, email is learned as 'spam'. Both for Bayes and > for AWL. The '6.0, 8.0, 9.0, all seem to almost be X-Spam-Flag values. > Don't confuse them. Nope, the auto-learn threshold is NOT related to AWL in any way. AWL is a pure score averager, which works on all mail -- regardless of the auto-learn thresholds, the SA score, or even Bayes being enabled at all. -- char *t="\10pse\0r\0dtu...@ghno\x4e\xc8\x79\xf4\xab\x51\x8a\x10\xf4\xf4\xc4"; main(){ char h,m=h=*t++,*x=t+2*h,c,i,l=*x,s=0; for (i=0;i<l;i++){ i%8? c<<=1: (c=*++x); c&128 && (s+=h); if (!(h>>=1)||!t[s+h]){ putchar(t[s]);h=m;s=0; }}}
