I recently changed the threshold setting on Spam Assassin to 5.7 instead of 5.0 because I get a lot of emails that are genuine that score around 5.5. I am still getting notifications that say these mails are spam and the line with the score reads like this...
Content analysis details: (5.5 points, 5.7 required)
Can any one tell me what I've got wrong please?
It's not clear from the information you've given. I've not seen SA do that except when run with the -t parameter (which by definition forces the message to be tagged as spam without regard for score).
1) Can you provide an X-Spam-Status header as well as a Content analysis details for the same message?
2) how are you calling spamassassin? (ie: what tools, and if applicable, what command-line parameters)
3) Does spamassassin --lint run quietly? I know I say this to everything, but it does point out lots of common config problems.
