Adjusting SA scores in 50_scores.cf...
I'm running SpamAssassin 3.2.3 and have been advised to increase the
score for URIBL_SBL to 5.0. I see where it is defined in 50_scores.cf,
but I don't completely understand the format.
Mine shows:
score URIBL_SBL 0 2.468 0 1.499 # n=0 n=2
Is the last score (1.499) the one I should increase? We are using both
Bayes and Network Checks and I do have
Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::URIDNSBL installed.
Thanks!

MimeDefang - http://www.mimedefang.org/
MimeDefang can reject at the SMTP level.

simscan for qmail can do that (although it rejects at smtp time rather
than deletes).

You used the thread subject:
Adjusting SA scores in 50_scores.cf
to start a new message. Can you please start a new thread next time
instead of using an existing one? Thread soring in an email client gets
messy otherwise.

Does anyone know if there's a way to score *all* emails at the server with
scores from 0-100, then delete all emails at the server with scores of over
10 and deliver the rest with the scores in the subject title please ?
Any help much appreciated.
Chris.

Gah! I didn't even notice that. :(

The rule in question is a URIBL test, so it acts on domain names that
appear in the message body. A standard DNSBL block at the MTA level,
whether just using the SBL or using Zen, would act on the IP address of
the sending server.
It's not just a matter of one method being more efficient than the
other. They're looking at different data.

Don't change the distribution files. Alter scores in a local.cf file
in your local customer configuration directory, typically
/etc/mail/spamassassin/
> Mine shows:

Just put this into your local config file:
score URIBL_SBL 5
Discussion of the advisability of a single poison-pill rule is for
another day, though if you *do* want to spamcan everything that hits
SBL you'd be better served doing it at the MTA layer as a regular
DNSBL test.
Also, isn't SBL folded into Zen these days?
