Rejected mail score

[Paul Diaguila <pd...@hcs.net>]

Greetings

Using SpamAssassin version 2.63.

Why is a message with this score being rejected?   Running it through 
the test gives me this:

Content analysis details:   (-97.5 points, 4.5 required)

 pts rule name              description
---- ---------------------- 
--------------------------------------------------
 1.0 DATE_MISSING           Missing Date: header
 1.0 OACYS_CONS_6           BODY: Email has six consonants in a row
 0.1 LG_4C_2V_3C            BODY: Gibberish found?
 0.5 J_CHICKENPOX_44        BODY: {4}Letter - punctuation - {4}Letter
-100 USER_IN_WHITELIST      From: address is in the user's white-list

thanks....

Paul

	SpamAssassin does do any rejecting or delivery. It just scores the 
message and leaves the rest up to some other application. What 
application are you using that has the "power" to reject or accept a 
message based on the score that SA assigns? And then, what does it use 
to decide what to do?

Cheers,
Bob
