 |
|
ok. I have a nice setup with a gentoo machine running Postfix relaying to an Exchange server, and filtering spam using SpamAssassin through amavisd-new. Its great, works wonderful & all, but it is not scoring spam correctly.
I am using the SpamAssassin ebuild.
I have turned on full reporting in the headers, so that when mail gets through, I can see the scoring. SpamAssassin seems to have a default scoring of 6.3 for spam. Here's an example: | Code: | | X-Spam-Status: No, hits=5.2 tagged_above=3.0 required=6.3 tests=CLICK_BELOW, EXCUSE_15, HTML_70_80, HTML_FONT_BIG, HTML_FONT_COLOR_GRAY, HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_06, HTML_LINK_CLICK_HERE, HTML_MESSAGE, MAILTO_LINK, MAILTO_TO_REMOVE, MIME_HTML_ONLY, UNSUB_PAGE |
You can see the "required" field says 6.3 tho I would like it to bounce at 5.0 I have the following | Code: | In /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
required_hits 5.00
|
and have restarted postfix & amavisd. SpamAssassin is reading other rules from local.cf, so its not like it is being ignored. Anyone have any ideas?? Its frustrating, as several explicit spams are getting through the filter this way... |

In my /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf that line is
required_hits 5
... but hard to believe that "5.00" instead of "5" would make SA ignore the rule completely.
Do you have ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs file? If so, could it be that there would be lurking the evil "required_hits 6.3" line?  |

Its a pure relay server, so there are no users on it. I'm going to set it to 5 (not 5.00) & see if that helps... I just ran updatedb and there are no user_prefs files on the server at all (only templates), so I'm unsure where this score is coming from... |

take a look in amavisd.conf for
| Code: | $sa_tag_level_deflt = 4.0; # add spam info headers if at, or above that level
$sa_tag2_level_deflt = 6.3; # add 'spam detected' headers at that level
$sa_kill_level_deflt = $sa_tag2_level_deflt; # triggers spam evasive actions |
$sa_tag_level_deflt is for 'tagged_above'
$sa_tag2_level_deflt is for 'required'
amavisd-new doesn't care about the tag-levels in SA's local.cf.. |

Thank you, thank you, thank you.. I'll put it in & see how well it fares...
For reference, in case anyone else is puzzled by this, running SpamAssassin from the command prompt was correctly scoring inputted mails.. which is why I was confused... |
