Re: Headers not being updated
I experience the same problem. Lots of spam and normal e-mail have X_Spam_Status: No, score=. And X_spam_Flag: NO But not all. Sometimes it is: Yes, score=7.7 and marked as spam, sometimes No, score=2.0 and ofcourse not marked as spam. Even No, score=0.0. What is causing this and how can it be solved? (It started in august 2007, but since beginning of december it has increased very much.)

Well, it really doesn't help that you've left out any useful details at all. Scores alone tell me, or anyone else, very, very, little. At the absolute minimum we'd need: a full X-Spam-Status (with the list of hits), and what version of SA you're running, and a crude description of the spam (enough that we'd have a good chance of finding a similar one in our inboxes). Even better would be to put one of the messages somewhere that we can look at it. (ie: pastebin, or whatever works for you). There's a few hundred different tactics spammers use to evade detection, which one is affecting your current setup is a mystery to me. However, I can tell you that the the ones with just score= and no numbers following are likely a messages that were too large to be scanned. If you're using spamc/spamd, by default messages larger than 500kb aren't scanned. You can change this with a command-line parameter to spamc, but be aware that scanning really large messages can bog down SA pretty badly.

Thank you both for your posts I'll go off and find out about these issues. I'll report back if and when I find a solution.

My hosting support company has tried to fix it but have suggested I try here. I hope someone can help. Any advice much appreciated. Have you changed the default setting for adding headers in SA? Look for 'X-Spam-Bar' in your SA config file (local.cf). You may have an issue with something outside the realm of SA. Also, the default setting for the header 'X-Spam-Status' doesn't contain the word 'score'. Are you running anything else that calls SA? -- _|_ (_| |
