How to setup threshold in SpamAssassin.sfd for Thunderbird?

2014-07-13 Thread Ben Stover
I resp. my mail provider set up an server side SpamAssassin filter for incoming 
emails.

As far as I know SpamAssassin calculates a spamscore and puts a corresponding 
header field
X-SPAM-SCORE into each msg header.

Now when I use Thunderbird client with POP3 to fetch all new incoming msgs from 
server
users have to setup somehow a threshold e.g. 47 or whatever.

When Thunderbird finds an X-SPAM-SCORE of 47 or above it judges the current 
incoming msg as junk otherwise as good.

Now where and hwo EXACTLY can I setup this individual threshold in Thunderbird?

I guess its somehow specified in a file SpamAssassin.sfd but I have no clue on 
how to define it there.

I would appreciate if someone could give me a guide on how to accomplish this?

Thank you
Ben

Yes, I have to disabled TBs built-in adaptive junk mail control. So junk mail 
handling relys only on SpamAssassin.











Spam score range and distribution statistics?

2014-06-09 Thread Ben Stover
As far as I found out SpamAssassin calculates the spam score and puts the value 
into the email header.

What is the maximum range of the score?

-10,,+10

or other?

Is there a statistic for an average email account how much emails get which 
score?

In other words is there something like a gaussian distribution graphic 
visualisation?
