Spam not tagged

Dear list,

Last week we've got some spam, bounced messages (a so called joe-job)
not tagged as spam in the subject. "Regular" spam messages are tagged
in the subject. In the headers I see that spamassassin gave the
message a score of above 24:

May 23 19:36:29 server2 amavis[16930]: (16930-08) SPAM-TAG, <> ->
<ad...@company.com>, Yes, score=24.347 tagged_abo
ve=3 required=7 tests=[DCC_CHECK=1.37, DIGEST_MULTIPLE=0.001,
HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_20=1.808, HTML_MESSAGE=0.001, HTML_SHO
RT_LINK_IMG_3=0.556, PYZOR_CHECK=2.834, RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_51_100=0.5,
RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_E4_51_100=1.5, RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_E
8_51_100=1.5, RAZOR2_CHECK=0.5, SARE_UNI=0.591, URIBL_AB_SURBL=1.613,
URIBL_BLACK=1.961, URIBL_JP_SURBL=2.857, URIBL
_OB_SURBL=2.132, URIBL_SC_SURBL=2.523, URIBL_WS_SURBL=2.1]

But why did SA not add *** SPAM *** to the subject?

I'm using:
spamassassin               3.2.3-0.volatile1
amavisd-new                2.4.2-6.1

No need for an alternative; invoking SA via amavisd is perfectly fine.  Just 
read:

	http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/#faq-spam
	
and take the rest of this read to the amavisd mailing list if you have more 
questions.

I'm not suggesting an alternative.  You are not interacting directly 
with SpamAssassin.  You are using Amavisd which invokes SpamAssassin 
modules, then perform rewrites, rejection, etc. based on the 
results.  In the example you gave, the Subject header should have 
been tagged.  As it wasn't, you can refer to the Amavisd 
documentation to determine whether you have put in the required directives.

The following URL lists software which integrate SpamAssassin:

http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/IntegratedSolutions

If SpamAssassin is not working correctly with these software, the 
better place is ask for help is on their respective mailing list.

You are running Amavis which calls the perl part of spamassassin itself. 
  You are not running spamd, which is the program that adds the 
***SPAM*** to the subject.

You will want to try the amavis mailing list for more information.

Can you explain your opinion a bit more?
What would you suggest as an alternative?

Thank you,
P.

Because you are using amavisd.

This is an amavisd-new FAQ. amavisd-new only tags the subject for mail 
that is directed to local domains.
