Uhm, a generic amount of money on it's own is not a sign of spam. You
know, some people do deal with and talk about money...

It hits a stack of rules here (some are my own scoring) - looks like
it's time to upgrade to SA 3.3.1.

          *  6.0 BAYES_99 BODY: Bayes spam probability is 99 to 100%
          *      [score: 0.9999]
          *   25 RCVD_IN_BRBL_LASTEXT RBL: RCVD_IN_BRBL_LASTEXT
          *      [148.208.170.3 listed in bb.barracudacentral.org]

Seriously? Or is that a score typo in your cf files?


I did say above "some are my own scoring". I've been evaluating BRBL to see if it's a candidate to use at the smtp level and need to identify possible false positives. Giving it a ridiculously high score ensures any hits end up in quarantine where I can examine. No FPs of note yet. I've also tweaked the Basian scoring for my own preferences. I still see a fair amount of spam caught by Bayes alone and manually train Bayes with confirmed ham/spam only. I have high confidence in my Bayesian setup and whitelisting invariably catches any potential FP hits.

In general, I wouldn't recommend users tweak the default scoring too much.
