Hello Frederic, FG X-spam-status: No, hits=5.312 tagged_above=-999 required=6.31 tests=BAYES_99, FG RCVD_HELO_IP_MISMATCH, RCVD_NUMERIC_HELO that does score high enough to be classified as spam, but you or your administrator have raised the required score from 5.0 to 6.31. It is what is put in Amavisd config. I will maybe lower it a bit. If your Bayes database is reliable and stable, bump the score for BAYES_99. In fact I forgot to uprgrade to SA 3.0.3 which bumbs bayes a lot. But from my own mail it seems that bayes_99 never hits a false positive. Or look into adopting some of SARE's rules files, at http://www.rulesemporium.com (or other custom files available via the wiki). I have most of sare rules, but I have not seen a set for stock ads.. THanks for the advice f.g.
Uncatched spam and rules weith modification..
Hello, For the last weeks I have received a lot of spam concerning stock alerts and different investissments. Their bayes score is 99, but they don't score enough to be classified as spam. I use rules_du_jour and the standard spamassassin set with SURBL... This spam does not trigger a lot of rules typicaly I have that kind of result : X-spam-status: No, hits=5.312 tagged_above=-999 required=6.31 tests=BAYES_99, RCVD_HELO_IP_MISMATCH, RCVD_NUMERIC_HELO X-spam-status: No, hits=4.171 tagged_above=-999 required=6.31 tests=BAYES_99, MIME_BASE64_TEXT, RCVD_IN_SORBS_DUL X-spam-status: No, hits=3.873 tagged_above=-999 required=6.31 tests=BAYES_99, RCVD_IN_SORBS_DUL I'm using a global bayes_db which seems to work quite well : my users are not complaining about too much spam or too much false positive (btw my own email address recieve much more spam than other people as it has been public for 15 years now). What I wonder is what to do ? Increasing the bayes_99 score ? Decreasing the 6.31 spam level ? Try to create new rules ? FiLH
