I'm having a similar problem with understanding SpamAssassin scores and rules. I have searched and searched for specific explanations of them, but have had very little luck. The links you provided are a start, but there is no real explanation for people trying to code emails and eNewsletters. For instance, what exactly does:
0.8 HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_12 BODY: HTML: images with 1000-1200 bytes of words mean? That the images in the email are too large? That they have too much text in them? That their alt tags are too long? Another rule I found confusing was: 0.4 HTML_60_70 BODY: Message is 60% to 70% HTML versus 0.9 HTML_40_50 BODY: Message is 40% to 50% HTML I cleaned up an email template for a client, so the code was more streamlined and had less HTML (keeping the same amount of images), but strangely this got a higher score. Does anyone know of a more indepth guide to understanding scores and rules? Thanks!
