I use QiQ.co.uk for web hosting and associated e-mail services. QiQ
offer SpamAssassin as an integrated feature that is accessible via

In view of the fact that some of my domains are increasingly inundated
with spam, I would like to reduce the SpamAssassin score from the
default value of 5 to a lower value, in order to make SpamAssassin
more 'aggressive'. However, I don't really want to enable Spam
Auto-Delete because I want to be able to check the spam folder for
false positives, but apparently there is no way to change the setting
without simultaneously enabling the "Spam Auto-Delete" function.
Am I missing something?
Thank you

You'll need to ask QiQ. SA is only a classifier. It takes an email as
input and outputs score results, plus a modified email with spam headers.
I would also caution against lowering the score threshold more than 0.5
or so. There's a point where it goes from "catching more spam" to
"catching more of everything"
besides that using RBL scoring and wise filters for dynamic PTRs and
invalid HELO names *before* SA on the MTA level should reject most spam
without false positives
3 months:
* 250000 delivered ham messages
* 850000 MTA level rejects
* 32000 SA hits
Thanks for your reply, but I'm afraid as an ordinary SA user with
limited knowledge of these matters I have, quite frankly, no idea what
you are talking about.
Don't hesitate to tell me to RTFM, but if you feel like elaborating a
little, ideally in an 'acronym-free environment', I would be grateful.
