Hello All,

At the company I work for, we use Exchange as a groupware server. It 
receives a lot of spam, so I recently put a server in front of it, which 
runs amavisd-new 2.6.2. I do have some experience with amavisd-new, but 
this time I choose to use MySQL for lookups and quarantaining. Does 
amavis in this case still use below settings from /etc/amavisd.conf?

$sa_tag_level_deflt  = 2.0;  # add spam info headers if at, or above 
that level
$sa_tag2_level_deflt = 5.0;  # add 'spam detected' headers at that level
$sa_kill_level_deflt = 6.9;  # triggers spam evasive actions (e.g. 
blocks mail)
$sa_dsn_cutoff_level = 10;   # spam level beyond which a DSN is not sent

Although sa_kill_level_deflt is set to 6.9, it still passes mail as 
being SPAMMY instead of killing it (message has spamscore of 11.x). I 
did, however, try to add mail from an external domain on the whitelist. 
Perhaps I did this the wrong way. In table 'mailaddr' I added the domain 
which should be on the whitelist. In table 'users' I added our local 
domain, together with a policy_id which points to a record (table 
'policy') with higher tag and kill levels than in /etc/amavisd.conf. 
Does amavis use these kill levels for all spam mails now, instead of 
only for the whitelisted domain? Finally, in table 'wblist' I put a 
record with 'rid' and 'sid' which point to 'users' and 'mailaddr' 
records mentioned above, respectively.

My question now is, how do I set up default tag and kill levels when 
using mysql for lookups? Apologies if this question comes up everytime, 
but I did not find an answer on Google.


Thank you in advance,

Alexander van der Leun
