These settings just configure what Amavis does with messages with a particular score. They have no bearing on determining the scores. However, I notice that you are marking spam at 3 points and rejecting or quarantining it at 4.1 points. SA is normally tuned to mark spam at 5 points, so I doubt you want to reject messages that score 4.1...particularly if you are having problems with false positives. I would suggest that $sa_tag2_level_deflt should be 5 and $sa_kill_level_deflt should be at least 7. -- Bowie
