Any chance you didn't reload spamd after editing local.cf?
Also, for what it's worth, required_hits is deprecated. It's still
accepted, but
the preferred option is required_score. At some point in the future,
support for
required_hits might go away, so while you're setting things up it
might be worth
changing to the newer syntax to avoid future headaches.
I usually edit the local.cf via a script that reloads spamd if there
are any changes. I even re-started it just this morning to see if
that was the case but it still kept using the 5.0 score.
I forgot to mention before that "spamassassin -D --lint" was using
the 6.9 as threshold but spamc was using 5.0. I changed the line in
the cf to required_score 6.9 and now a lint shows:
dbg: check: is spam? score=3.586 required=7
Does it round using required_score?
Anyway, spamc continues to use the 5.0 score after the change and restart:
Apr 6 17:19:34 yoda2 spamd[10978]: spamd: clean message (-101.1/5.0)
My /etc/sysconfig/spamd:
OPTIONS="-d -u spamd -H /home/spamd -m 15"
Last time I had a problem like this, I had multiple local.cf
files. A locate turned up only one instance in /etc/mail/spamassassin.....
Per user rules with default required_score in the user_prefs files?
