Hello All, I have a few issues with our filtering and am not sure how to make things better. The main issue that I have is that I have created a whitelist.cf file in /etc/mail/spamassassin but with the following
whitelist_from_rcvd [EMAIL PROTECTED] adelphia.net whitelist_from_rcvd [EMAIL PROTECTED] hotmail.com whitelist_from_rcvd @dell.com dell.com they are still getting tagged as spam. here is what the header information is comeing up with. X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.1.7 (2006-10-05) on mx.wifi7.com X-Spam-Level: ** X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=2.8 required=2.0 tests=AWL,BAYES_50,J_CHICKENPOX_12, J_CHICKENPOX_31,MIME_BASE64_NO_NAME,NO_REAL_NAME,SARE_SUB_ENC_UTF8, SUBJECT_EXCESS_BASE64,SUBJ_HAS_UNIQ_ID autolearn=no version=3.1.7 X-Spam-Report: * 1.0 NO_REAL_NAME From: does not include a real name * 0.2 SUBJ_HAS_UNIQ_ID Subject contains a unique ID * 0.6 J_CHICKENPOX_12 BODY: 1alpha-pock-2alpha * 0.6 J_CHICKENPOX_31 BODY: 3alpha-pock-1alpha * 0.0 BAYES_50 BODY: Bayesian spam probability is 40 to 60% * [score: 0.5000] * 0.2 MIME_BASE64_NO_NAME RAW: base64 attachment does not have a file * name * 0.2 SARE_SUB_ENC_UTF8 Message uses character set often used in spam * 0.4 SUBJECT_EXCESS_BASE64 Subject: base64 encoded encoded unnecessarily * -0.3 AWL AWL: From: address is in the auto white-list Received: from unknown (HELO ausc60ps301.us.dell.com) (143.166.148.206) I am not really sure where to go from here to make sure that my boss gets his dell emails... The other issue that I have is it seems that I have to have my spam score down to about 2.0 in order to knock out enough spam for our clients not to complain is this action abnormal. What could I have wrong? THanks Much Q
