SpamAssasssin Score?

[noam]

Hello,

I had Spamassassin enabled with the default score of 5.0

That was almost useless as it was letting in way too much. I changed the Score to 3.0 and now get much better results!

What score do you set your Spamassasin filters to?

I haven't changed my from 5, although I may try a four somtime soon as I'm seeing a little bit more spam getting through now than I used to. Still, 10 or 15 messages in my inbox are nothing when it is trapping close to 300 messages a day.

I set mine to '6' because I was getting to many 'falses'...

I get a lot of incoming notices from my website, like 'New Member Application Waiting', 'Hack Attempt', et cetera, and it was easier to knock Spamassassin down a notch than to redo all my scripts.

You could have just done a whitelist for those, right? I use mine of 4 and watch the spam box weekly.

Off. It lets through a wopping 5-10 spam a day in that way.

I do have a few mail addies redirected straight to the black hole though.

I dunno... I hate mail... it's like defecating...
