I have Amavisd-new installed and configured however I am trying to understand how it works. It appears to be scoring my incoming messages like SpamAssassin would however it appears I have SA installed but not running:
This is fine however when I get a message, I do see in the headers that someone is scoring the message based specific rules. I am guessing that someone is Amavisd-new, right? X-Virus-Scanned: Debian amavisd-new at blahblahblah.org X-Spam-Flag: YES X-Spam-Score: 11.543 X-Spam-Level: *********** X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=11.543 tagged_above=-5 required=4 tests=[BAYES_40=-0.185, HELO_DYNAMIC_DIALIN=3.384, RDNS_DYNAMIC=0.1, STOX_REPLY_TYPE=0.001, URIBL_BLACK=1.955, URIBL_JP_SURBL=1.501, URIBL_OB_SURBL=1.5, URIBL_PH_SURBL=1.787, URIBL_WS_SURBL=1.5] So based on what I see above I can see that Amavisd-new is doing some scoring and re-writting of headers on messages that are scored as spam. My question now is how do I reject messages that have a high score of something like '5'? I searched in my Debian / Amavisd-new conf.d directory (/etc/amavis/conf.d/) and found the following in 20-debian_defaults: $sa_spam_subject_tag = '***SPAM*** '; $sa_tag_level_deflt = 2.0; # add spam info headers if at, or above that level $sa_tag2_level_deflt = 6.31; # add 'spam detected' headers at that level $sa_kill_level_deflt = 6.31; # triggers spam evasive actions $sa_dsn_cutoff_level = 10; # spam level beyond which a DSN is not sent So all of the above scores are lower than 11.543 which is why I don't understand why I received a message in my inbox delivered to me with such a high score unless I am not understanding how this works or looking in the wrong Amavisd-new config file.
