--- Comment #4 from Mark Martinec <[email protected]> 2010-04-13 06:15:12 EDT --- Bug 6032, Ian Turner 2008-12-18 : These commands (--add-addr-to-blacklist and --add-addr-to-whitelist) just set the AWL database with count=1 and totscore equal to to plus or minus 100. But since the count is set to 1, the average score quickly returns to the mean typical for messages from this source. For example, consider a message sender [email protected], whose messages are flagged as spam with score 30. Assume the system is configured with a spam threshold of 10. Finally, assume an administrator runs spamassassin [email protected] and that several messages are then recieved from this source. We will see the following behaviour: Message pre-AWL post-AWL count totscore Message accepted? score score 1 -100 1 30 -35 2 -70 TRUE 2 30 -20 3 -40 TRUE 3 30 -5 4 -10 TRUE 4 30 10 5 20 FALSE 5 30 25 6 50 FALSE As it turns out, the --add-addr-to-whitelist command was only good for three messages. In my opinion, the easy way to fix this bug is to set totscore=100000 and score=1000, but the best way is to probably have a scheme where if count is null then totscore is never changed, and to set count=null when adding known addresses. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
