Hello,
I have noticed that the mailspike rules are enabled in SpamAssasin but
all return zero values:
0.0 RCVD_IN_MSPIKE_BL Mailspike blacklisted
0.0 RCVD_IN_MSPIKE_L5 RBL: Very bad reputation (-5)
This is actually a rounding issue: all RCVD_IN_MSPIKE_* rules are being
scored at +/- 0.001 by RuleQA so the score report rounds it to 0.0. They
are rescored that way because they are not hitting anything in the
submitted corpora but have scores set in the static scores list.
That MAY indicate a bug in RuleQA, since I don't believe that "net"
rules like these should be rescored by RuleQA. Perhaps someone more
familiar with the mechanics of RuleQA will correct me...
Please can you tell me where in the SpamAssassin configuration I find
the setting(s) that need to be changed such that non-zero values are
returned.
I have been receiving large quantities of spam that instead of just
being flagged as spam would have met the conditions for being rejected
completely if either of the mailspike values had been 0.1 or greater.
As Claudio said, local.cf is the place. Where your local.cf should be
depends on how your SpamAssassin was built, but there should be a
baseline version in the site rules directory. You can find that with:
spamassassin --lint -D config 2>&1 |grep 'site rules dir'
