Scan e-mail for spam

Post by peter.munnelly »

Hi,

Using the latest version for these options whatever I change has no effect whatsoever. I want a user on a domain to now have their email scanned for spam, however if I untick scan email for spam it still scans the message and catches it.

Scan for Spam: Scan eMail for Spam?
Spam Score: 0=Use Default
High Spam Score: 0=Use Default

I have also noticed that whatever rules I put into local.cf do not override the main configuration. I am having loads of messages caught by ImageCerberusPLG 1-5 and I cannot override the score of 4.0

my local.cf looks like this this at the end;

score ImageCerberusPLG1 0.50
score ImageCerberusPLG2 0.50

These scores are not picked up by spamassassin though. Please could you help point me in the right direction?

1/ where is the location of the local.cf that you edited?

2/ on your messages, what is your ImageCerberusPLGx scores coming out to? (1.0?)

I'm going to make a wild ass guess here, but may want to write it as:

Code: Select all

score     ImageCerberusPLG1     0.5  0.5  0.5  0.5
instead of:

Code: Select all

score     ImageCerberusPLG1     0.5
because that is how the /etc/mail/spamassassin/ImageCerberusPLG.cf file scores it.

(from what I've learned, the 4 different numbers score this rule depending on where the rule is triggered in the message. You're rule is overriding the default rule, but you may only be overriding one of the scores, not all of the scoring)
