Hello. Thank you for the anwer. $sa_tag_level_deflt is already set to 2.0. Here the headers of the message relative the score:
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.4.0 (2014-02-07) on av9.infracom.it X-Spam-Level: * X-Spam-Status: No, score=1.9 required=5.0 tests=BASE64_LENGTH_79_INF,BAYES_00, HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_20,HTML_MESSAGE,MIME_HTML_ONLY,MISSING_MIME_HB_SEP, MPART_ALT_DIFF,RCVD_IN_DNSWL_NONE,RCVD_IN_MSPIKE_H2,SPF_HELO_PASS, TO_NO_BRKTS_HTML_IMG,T_REMOTE_IMAGE autolearn=no autolearn_force=no version=3.4.0 Delivered-To: spam-quarantine X-Envelope-To: <iagro...@example.net<mailto:iagro...@example.net>> X-Envelope-To-Blocked: <iagro...@example.net<mailto:iagro...@example.net>> X-Quarantine-ID: <BknEtFAN2Yh1> X-Amavis-Alert: BAD HEADER SECTION, Non-encoded non-ASCII data (and not UTF-8) (char B0 hex): Subject: Annullamento Ordine n\x{B0} 217026098 del [...] So the thing to be clarified is the difference between the ‘score’ reported by spamassassin (and X-Spam-Status header) and the Hits reported by the amavisd log. Could someone explain the difference?

Anyway I set ‘$sa_kill_level_deflt = 6.31’ too in amavis configuration. I could agree for the differnce of the score of the message assigned by amavis and the score of the SA test of the quarantined message.. But, I would like to understand why amavis assigns a so high score (7.946) to a harmless message ..

Even after the changes done to the amavis configuration, I still notice that some messages has been blocked as SPAM. For example: Jul 18 12:04:55 zzz amavis[18242]: (18242-14) Blocked SPAM {DiscardedInbound,Quarantined}, [195.245.231.137]:39849 [193.67.127.189] <orderfl...@example.org<mailto:orderfl...@example.org>> -> <iagro...@example.net<mailto:iagro...@example.net>>, quarantine: B/spam-BknEtFAN2Yh1.gz, Queue-ID: 31099D5C4B, Message-ID: <of2b08da46.86f90238-on80258161.00376...@leaseplancorp.net<mailto:of2b08da46.86f90238-on80258161.00376...@leaseplancorp.net>>, mail_id: BknEtFAN2Yh1, Hits: 7.946, size: 170434, 551 ms while the score I get while testing the messages is much lower that $sa_tag2_level_deflt (1.9 < 6.31): ... Where is the problem? Why the message is tagged as SPAM and quarantined? It is not $sa_tag2_level_deflt that determines whether message is quarantined, this only determines whether to add 'spam detected' headers in the emails. Score above $sa_kill_level_deflt triggers evasive action (i.e. according to $spam_quarantine_method). Also I am not sure you can rely on getting same spam calculation when you re-test a quarantined email as when it arrives from outside, perhaps this is why header shows score of 7.946 but retest only 1.9?
