I have emails that have been flagged as spam in the past but that are
still getting through, presumably because the servers are on some
DNSWL.
Example:
X-Spam-Status: No, score=0.9 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_99,BAYES_999,
DATE_IN_PAST_03_06,DKIM_SIGNED,DKIM_VALID,DKIM_VALID_AU,
HTML_IMAGE_RATIO_02,HTML_MESSAGE,RCVD_IN_DNSWL_HI,RCVD_IN_MSPIKE_H2,
SPF_HELO_NONE,SPF_SOFTFAIL shortcircuit=no autolearn=no
autolearn_force=no version=3.4.2
What's the recommended way to handle these? Do I turn on shortcircuit?
Do I bump up the score for BAYES_99, BAYES_999? Or might there be a
way to ignore DNSWL scores if they have a high bayes score?
I have been looking at this issue a little more. I just grepped my spam
folder. Out of 1000 emails I have flagged as spam, 321 have been flagged
with RCVD_DNSWL_HI, a rule which adds -5 points to the eamil. That's
almost 1 out of 3 emails which seems pretty insane.
Is anyone else seeing spam getting flagged with RCVD_DNSWL_HI resulting
in so many false positives?
