Score=x ?

I've seen a couple of mails come through lately with score=x. Perhaps 
there have been some coming in all along like that and I haven't noticed it.

What does score=x mean?

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks Benny. I seriously doubt that was it as the message in question 
was 268KB. However I will check it out.

Thank you very much!

sorry its lower, not highter size, but this is the only time i have seen score=x with
amavisd, you can raise the size limit so you scan them aswell, just don't set the limit to
high, but still high enough to not let spam through

check amavisd.conf for $sa_mail_body_size_limit is highter then the mail size in this
mail, if it is amavisd disabled scanning of this mail

amavis is doing the markup, so I would ask them.

Thanks Matt. You could be right. I don't know. I will ask on Amavis list 
as Theo suggested.

That's an amavis thing, but I presume it means there is no score (ie: SA
did not completely analyze the message, so no score was computed).

This could mean message was not fed to spamassassin (due to hard
whitelist or bypass_spam_checks), or amavis timed-out the spamassassin
process (which is very likely to happen if your sa_timeout is less than
120, and you are using bayes).

That said, you'd have to ask someone who knows amavisd-new. I don't. But
that's my best educated guess. I hope it helps some.
