I realize that, but shouldn't doing an sa-learn --spam on the message change the score for the exact same message? What I'm doing is saving one of the messages to a file (I'll call the file name "thisisspam") and then doing the following: sa-learn --spam thisisspam spamc -c <thisisspam The second command never comes back any higher than -1.5. And if I run: spamc <thisisspam The score shows up as -3.3. > As to then blacklisting the address... Perhaps the Sender, From or Reply-To > field is different on the three messages? No, the From: address was exactly the same each time ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), and there was no Reply-To. One thing I noticed was that the phrase "Fake passports" showed up in the spam. Maybe this phrase can be incorporated into the spam rules? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
