Amavis will not necessarily tag all mail, by default it will only tag mail with the X-Spam-Status headers if SA thinks it is spam. This is configurable using the $sa_kill_level_deflt option in your amavisd-new.conf, setting it to something like -999 will tag all mail. > #2. if not, where do I go to tighten up the rules, amasvid.conf, local.cf? Any options in SA's local.cf which alter the body or headers are *not* used, they are *completely* ignored - which is the subject of many FAQ's to the amavis mailing list. Everything else, such as bayes, autolearning, AWL, network tests, etc. is used by SA, just not anything which would modify the message. > #3. should i copy the *.cf files from /usr/share/spamassassin to > /etc/mail/spamassassin? I don't know what distribution you are using... under my Debian install they are used automagically from /usr/share/spamassassin - I just installed any additional rulesets in /etc/spamassassin (under Debian /etc/mail/spamassassin is just a symlink to /etc/spamassassin). YMMV. Without further information, we can't help much. > #4.
