I checked /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf just now and found only the following:
required_hits 5
report_safe 0
rewrite_header Subject [SPAM]
However I don't know if Amavisd-new is looking at local.cf because I
show parameters in my amavisd.conf file for SpamAssassin:
$sa_tag_level_deflt = -999.0; # add spam info headers if at, or
above that level
$sa_tag2_level_deflt = 5.0; # add 'spam detected' headers at that level
$sa_kill_level_deflt = 8.0; # triggers spam evasive actions (e.g.
blocks mail)
$sa_dsn_cutoff_level = 10; # spam level beyond which a DSN is not sent
$sa_quarantine_cutoff_level = 12; # spam level beyond which quarantine is off
$penpals_bonus_score = 8; # (no effect without a @storage_sql_dsn database)
$penpals_threshold_high = $sa_kill_level_deflt; # don't waste time on hi spam
$sa_mail_body_size_limit = 400*1024; # don't waste time on SA if mail is larger
$sa_local_tests_only = 0; # only tests which do not require internet access?
[...]
$sa_spam_subject_tag = '***SPAM*** ';
$defang_virus = 1; # MIME-wrap passed infected mail
$defang_banned = 1; # MIME-wrap passed mail containing banned name
# for defanging bad headers only turn on certain minor contents categories:
$defang_by_ccat{+CC_BADH.",3"} = 1; # NUL or CR character in header
$defang_by_ccat{+CC_BADH.",5"} = 1; # header line longer than 998 characters
When I get a spam message that was scored by SA, it says ***SPAM***
and not [SPAM] so that leaves me to believe that SA parameters are
being fed from amavisd.conf file. Does this make sense to you guys?
