Identifying what tests caused scoring
Hi everyone,
I've got spamassassin-2.63 with clamscan-0.73 invoked by
qmail-scanner-1.22 running on FreeBSD 4.10. The mail is filtered to the
spam folder via maildrop.
Although most spam is tagged and filtered properly, I am continuously
receiving obvious spam with hits such as -2.7 etc.
My question is how do I identify what tests were used to modify the hits
counter. I'd really like to learn what is happening with this mail.
Thank you for any suggestions.
Steve

Indeed. It worked great! I assumed the negatives were from bayes after
looking at the tests list, however didn't know how to verify.
Tks again,
Steve

That of course should be $spamc_options, not #spamc_options.

Remove the "-c" from my #spamc_options in
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl.
This will (among other things) add the headers to the email which shows what
tests scored. My guess is bayes is causing the negative scores or
perhaps some
bonded hosts.
