My md-filter contains only one task, which is to reject spam (tagged by
spamassassin) at smtp. Here is the full content of my md-filter:
-------------------
# Detect and load Perl modules
detect_and_load_perl_modules();
sub filter_end {
my($entity) = @_;
my($hits, $req, $names, $report) = spam_assassin_check();
my $stars = ($hits < 15) ? ("*" x int($hits)) : ("*" x 15);
# Bounce anything hitting the spam threshold
if ($hits >= 5) {
action_bounce("No spam wanted here.");
return;
}
# Add spam-score header
action_change_header("X-Spam-Score", "$hits ($stars) $names");
}
# DO NOT delete the next line, or Perl will complain.
1;
----------------------
this filter does work because I see entries in my sendmail log showing
rejection of emails with the message "No spam wanted here.". So I know
it's working. What baffles me is I also see the occasional spam email
landing in my inbox clearly tagged as [SPAM]. Why would md
'occasionally' fail to reject a spam email? I know there's not much to
go on here but I don't know what info to provide to de-mystify this.
