Jdow, you're pretty sophisticated with this. Afraid much of what you described is beyond my skillset and/or patience for mastering at the moment.

My "Why" is that I get 1,500-plus spams daily on some of my older domains. It is my understanding that in SpamAssassin any email that scores 10 hits or more is almost certainly spam (with an extremely, extremely low FP rate) and that more than 80% of true spam detected by SpamAssassin has a score of 10 or higher. So, if I can just eliminate that 80-plus% of the spam -- at server level -- sight unseen, then I don't have to download it to my computer, tying up my connection, and I don't have to sort through it in a spam folder in Outlook Express. I've just moved my sites to Hostgator.com. Actually still moving them. And, yes, it's cPanel is extremely warm and fuzzy. I'd much prefer the standard out-of-the-box cpanel I've been working with for at least half a decade. I'll devote more time to mastering SpamAssassin when I'm in a position to budget that time to the task. And I'll have to demystify Hostgator's modified cPanel in the process. But bet that, with some help then, I can get some rules written that will accomplish what I want. In the past, I've redirected most of my domains' email accounts through gmail, which does a wonderful job of sorting out the spam (and automatically deleting everything in the spam folder that ages to 30 days). But, as I can, I'd like to master SpamAssassin and see if I can get it to do what I need it to do. I need it to kill the obvious spam (even if there is a 1 in 2,000 chance that it will kill a legitimate email in the process. I'll accept that level of loss). And I need it to deliver (and let me filter to a spam folder on my hard-drive) those that it identifies as less certain, but probable spam. Hope that can be accomplished. Hostgator told me that with their setup, using their SpamAssassin controls, I can't set two concurrent rules. i.e. I can't tell SpamAssassin to autodelete any mail with a score of 10 or higher and also tell it to mark as [SPAM] and deliver any mail with a score between 5 and 10. So, for now, I'm told I can't do what I want it to do. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Can-I-auto-delete-emails-scoring-10-and-above%2C-yet-mark-as-spam-those-5-and-above--tp25463989p25465565.html Sent from the SpamAssassin - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
