How does sa know when pyzor sees a spam msg?

2017-01-21 Thread Harry Putnam
Having a heck of a time googling for this answer. I'm looking to understand the actual mechanism whereby pyzor tells sa it thinks a message is spam. What does sa look for. My sa setup allows sa to insert X-Spam headers and then procmail looks for certain of those :0fw | /usr/bin/spamc

How to make SA include Report for all msgs

How can I make SA include the 'X-Spam-Report:' header and report for all messages rather than just the spam messages? I have `report_safe 0' set but that only causes SA to includes the Report header for spam msgs.

SA Scoring... mysterious point loss

SA is letting mail thru as ham that should be spam apparently based on what is too low a score (for my mail) for URIBL_JP_SURBL which was 1.9 by default. I pushed it up to 4. But then I see a report that shows a total score of 4.9 when 4.0 is shown for URIBL_JP_SURBL 1.0 is shown for
