We too get a lot of these emails which are largely an image only. T_REMOTE_IMAGE comes up a lot - but it is not listed in http://spamassassin.apache.org/tests_3_3_x.html and the previous email suggests there is no score attached to it.
I found somewhere before (cannot find it again) that if we put a refined score in brackets into local.cf, it ADDS that score to the Spamassassin default - is that correct? So like this: score T_REMOTE_IMAGE (3.5) or do I just have to give it a new score like: score T_REMOTE_IMAGE 3.5 Can someone remind me how to turn on the "verbose" so that for a short monitoring time we can see the scores being given to all our rules in maillog? Many thanks, as ever, in advance.

SpamAssassin 3.3.1 on isnotspam.org reports these matches: 0.0 URIBL_BLOCKED ADMINISTRATOR NOTICE: The query to URIBL was blocked.

There is already T_REMOTE_IMAGE in 72_active.cf, but with no score assigned and it also doesn't take into account the number of images in the messages. What about a ruleset matching multiple images in the HTML mail part? Regards Pavel Bazika
