I suspect that the author's figured that if the report is included in a message, the admin must have set required_hits to the value they thought was appropriate. I'm not taking this approach however. I set my required_hits to 0 so that all positively scored mail gets a report. I did this during the intial testing phase and have decided to leave it. Many of our testers, myself included like to see what score FNs get. I also like to see what legit newletters get and respond to the sender to tell them how to reduce their score. I'm guessing that's what the authors' logic is. I'm just doing things a little differently. Apparently some of my users take the text SpamAssassin uses in its literal sense. They seem to think we're accusing the senders (sometimes family members) that their mail is spam. The text means something when used in the manner I described above, not in manner we're using SA. I think once we take that out and tweak a few other things we'll be doing fine. A few of the users we're hearing from had what they thought were bad experiences with a DNSBL. I think they're grapsing at straws for something new to complain about to reinforce their first arguement.
