Greetings.
It appears that SpamAssassin is not discarding messages according to settings.
I could be missing something, or modifying the wrong things, but this is what I've done :
In /usr/local/etc/toaster_watcher.conf :
filtering_spama_discard_score = 8 # discard messages with a SA score above this
-----------------------------------------------------------
In /root/.spamassassin/user_prefs
# How many points before a mail is considered spam.
required_score 6
This is a concern to me as in my test messages, I get :
Content analysis details: (9.3 points, 5.0 required)
This tells me that the required score is still understood as 5 and not 6.
I've sent test emails that have scored 9+ that are being sent through as attachments as possible spam instead of discarding altogether.
Is there anything additional I may need to do? Any other settings that need to be altered?
Please help! Thank you.
Guess it would help if I were looking at the local.cf instead of the user_prefs
I'm still quite irked.
Everything seems to be running fine, minus the fact that I cannot get this thing to discard messages with a score of 9 :
From /Mail-Toaster-4.08/toaster-watcher.conf
filtering_method = smtp # smtp | tcpserver # see docs for details
filtering_spamassassin_method = site # site | user | domain
filtering_maildrop_filter_file = /usr/local/etc/mail/mailfilter
filtering_spama_discard_score = 9 # discard messages with a SA score above this
filtering_report_spam_spamassassin = 1
filtering_report_spam_pyzor = 0 # don't enable this with report_spamassassin
filtering_debug = 1
It will discard 12 and after. Everything between 5 and 12 get attached and sent through.
What am I missing?
Please assist.
12 is the default Score before it discards. I would assume that you are not changing the score in the proper place. I am working right now to find out where to change that and where to change it so it will only tag the spam for now so I can fine tune the scoring mechanism before going to discard.
The part that updates the maildrop filter file with your customized spam discard score is:
toaster_setup.pl -s maildrop
