chickenpox rule - ignoring extremely high scores
we are using Version 1.18 and have come across the problem of when
people send us comma delimited files as part of the email instead of as an
attachment. Is there a way to tell spamassassin (or chickenpox) that if the
score gets above 15 to ignore this message and let it on through?
Is there a way to have the chickenpox test skipped for certain recipients?
We have it in the /etc/mail/spamassassin directory.

No.

No. SA doesn't work that way.. everything in /usr/share/spamassassin and
/etc/mail/spamassassin is parsed at the time spamd or spamassassin or
Mail::SpamAssassin loads, long before the recipient is known.
In the case of spamd, it's also more efficient that way.
Realisticly, I'd just ditch chickenpox. It's spam performance isn't really
all that great and if it's causing you problems...
You could create a custom rule to compensate, or just use more_spam_to for
the recipient.
more_spam_to xyz@evi-inc.com
or something like this:
header __TO_XYZ To =~ /xyz@evi-inc.com/i
meta XYZ_CHICKENPOX_12 J_CHICKENPOX_12 && __TO_XYZ
score XYZ_CHICKENPOX_12 -5.0
meta XYZ_CHICKENPOX_13 J_CHICKENPOX_13 && __TO_XYZ
score XYZ_CHICKENPOX_13 -5.0
meta XYZ_CHICKENPOX_14 J_CHICKENPOX_14 && __TO_XYZ
score XYZ_CHICKENPOX_14 -5.0
etc...
or this :
header __TO_XYZ To =~ /xyz@evi-inc.com/i
header __FROM_ABC From =~ /abc@evi-inc.com/i
meta ABC_TO_XYZ _FROM_ABC && __TO_XYZ
score ABC_TO_XYZ -10.0
