Ah, I must have then. Okay, I'm beginning to see the flow of things now. Very IPTABLES like. > Do not be misled by the fact that default setting is also > to quarantine a mail with a bad header (i.e. a copy goes > to a guarantine, but mail is passed to recipients nevertheless). > To avoid quarantining mail with bad headers, it must be turned off > explicitly, as shown above. This was one thing that I didn't find intuitive. When would someone want something quarantined while it was delivered anyway? > Btw, it is also posible to be more selective and just disable some > of the header checks subtests, e.g. $allowed_header_tests{'8bit'} = 0; I assume the logs will show what part of the header failed so that I could flip off that switch? If I wanted to whitlist a particular domain, is there a check_maps I could use to do that instead? Back to the spam still being quarantined: here's some log entries: Sep 20 13:56:34 wopr amavis[27296]: (27296-02) do_notify_and_quarantine: spam level exceeds quarantine cutoff level 10 Sep 20 13:56:35 wopr amavis[27296]: (27296-02) Blocked SPAM, [189.142.141.237] [189.142.141.237] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, quarantine: [EMAIL PROTECTED], Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, mail_id: udQjw39pAJbo, Hits: 39.67, 20288 ms Here are my settings: $sa_tag_level_deflt = -9999; $sa_tag2_level_deflt = 5; $sa_kill_level_deflt = 5; $sa_dsn_cutoff_level = 10; $sa_quarantine_cutoff_level = 10; Thanks for your help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
