I've got some home-grown rules that I trust to which have added tflags autolearn_force
Recently I've seen some spam that hit those rules and racked up enough points that they should have auto-learned. But the scoring analysis explicitly says "autolearn=no autolearn_force=no". What's going on here? # spamc -R < /tmp/food-0 19.9/6.0 Checker-Version SpamAssassin 3.4.0 (2014-02-07) on xyzzy.engr.uiowa.edu Content analysis details: (19.9 points, 6.0 required, autolearn=no autolearn_force=no) pts rule name description ---- ---------------------- ------------------------------------------ 10 SURBL_URI_DBF4 Contains an URL in My SURBL list 4 [URIs: zxrich.com] 4.0 SURBL_URI_DBF2 Contains an URL in My SURBL list 2 [URIs: zxrich.com] -0.0 RCVD_IN_MSPIKE_H4 RBL: Very Good reputation (+4) [178.23.244.208 listed in wl.mailspike.net] 0.0 MISSING_HEADERS Missing To: header -0.0 SPF_HELO_PASS SPF: HELO matches SPF record -1.9 BAYES_00 BODY: Bayes spam probability is 0 to 1% [score: 0.0000] 1.1 RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_51_100 Razor2 gives confidence level above 50% [cf: 100] 1.9 RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_E8_51_100 Razor2 gives engine 8 confidence level above 50% [cf: 100] 0.9 RAZOR2_CHECK Listed in Razor2 (http://razor.sf.net/) 2.0 KAM_OBF Obfuscated Porn Spams 0.8 KAM_ASCII_DIVIDERS Spam that uses ascii formatting tricks -0.0 RCVD_IN_MSPIKE_WL Mailspike good senders 1.0 TO_CC_NONE No To: or Cc: header -0.0 T__RECEIVED_2 More than one untrusted relay 0.1 KHOP_SC_CIDR8 Relay CIDR /8 is among worst in SpamCop The odd thing is that if I manually explicitly learn them with "sa-learn --spam --mbox /tmp/food-0" then suddenly the 'autolearn_force=yes' takes effect.

Is there a 'autolearn_force_yes_I_really_mean_it' tflag that can be used to overcome that inhibition? -- Dave Funk University of Iowa <dbfunk (at) engineering.uiowa.edu> College of Engineering 319/335-5751 FAX: 319/384-0549 1256 Seamans Center Sys_admin/Postmaster/cell_admin Iowa City, IA 52242-1527 #include <std_disclaimer.h> Better is not better, 'standard' is better.
