these values refer to the total scores after spam assassin is finished.
If you wish to see what these individual settings mean, you can read the
comments in amavisd.conf.
$sa_tag_level_deflt = 2.0; # add spam info headers if at, or above
that level
$sa_tag2_level_deflt = 6.2; # add 'spam detected' headers at that level
$sa_kill_level_deflt = 6.9; # triggers spam evasive actions (e.g.
blocks mail)
$sa_dsn_cutoff_level = 10; # spam level beyond which a DSN is not sent
$sa_crediblefrom_dsn_cutoff_level = 18; # likewise, but for a likely
valid From
# $sa_quarantine_cutoff_level = 25; # spam level beyond which quarantine
is off
$penpals_bonus_score = 8; # (no effect without a @storage_sql_dsn
database)
$penpals_threshold_high = $sa_kill_level_deflt; # don't waste time on
hi spam
$bounce_killer_score = 100; # spam score points to add for joe-jobbed
bounces
$sa_mail_body_size_limit = 400*1024; # don't waste time on SA if mail is
larger
are you asking what these individual settings DO, or exactly why each
value was used rather than a different value?
