We're using spamass-milter with "-r 10". Does this reject the message (causing Sendmail to send a reject) or just discard it? If it's a reject, how can I change it to a discard?
I'm asking because I'm seeing stuff in our outgoing mail queue that looks like reject messages.
Neither. From the man page:
-r, --report Report message as spam
Spamassassin does not handle the rejection or deletion of email. If you are using sendmail and procmail, then you would create a procmail recipe to accomplish the actual handling of the mail based on your criteria for rejection/deletion.
However, as has been discussed on this list, automatic rejection based on a spam score alone is not advisable if you want to prevent rejecting false positives. I still get an occasional false positive.
