============== here's an example of a true positive msg caught by the backed after amavis passed is as clean: "spamc -c" says against the DATA body checks out as: 70537530.eml 10.3/5.0 but in the 70537530.eml file: X-Spam-Score: -2.27 X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.27 tagged_above=-20 required=5 tests=[AWL=-1.556, BAYES_50=0.001, HABEAS_ACCREDITED_SOI=-4.3, HTML_IMAGE_RATIO_04=0.172, HTML_MESSAGE=0.001, MIME_HTML_ONLY=1.457, URIBL_BLACK=1.955] so amavis correctly decided "Passed CLEAN" for -2.27, but the 12+ discrepancy between spamc and amavis scores" Len ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ AMaViS-user mailing list AMaViS-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/amavis-user AMaViS-FAQ:http://www.amavis.org/amavis-faq.php3 AMaViS-HowTos:http://www.amavis.org/howto/
