Ok. No Razor. > DCC, doesn't matter. By default *EVERY* message that isn't in your dcc > whitelist gets reported when you scan it. (DCC is a bulk-measurement > tool, not a spam measurement tool). Oh, really? So why I get a DCC_CHECK only after manually reporting (with spamassassin -r) a spam? > I can't really speak to SC or Pyzor's policies. > > I often see that high-scoring messages are reported as spam by some > of the > > above-mentioned engine, but seldom by all of them. > > And this would be important because?.. > > If all the engines always matched the exact same profile of messages > as > SA, they'd be redundant.

Probably, Pyzor has the same policy then. Then reporting high-scoring spam would be of help to SC (which are interested more to spam traffic then to spam content) and, possibly, to DCC, since this would help in asserting the "bulky nature" of a given mail.
