>I'm trying to setup spam assassin with postfix, server-wide preferably, without success. well, not that it's the best documentation to go by, but this is what I did on Fedora to get it working.: http://www.montleon.com/mcafee+amavis+postfix+spamassassin.html >1) postfix+procmail+spam assassin >on test spam I got the highest level at >X-Spam-Status: No, hits=2.8 required=5.0 tests=SUBJ_VIAGRA >autolearn=no version=2.60 Look in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf; 5.0 is the default hit value required to take the default action of rewriting the subject. >X-Spam-Status: No, hits=1.3 tagged_above=0.0 required=5.0 Look in your amavisd.conf, wherever you've put it for the lines that read something like: # default values, can be overridden by more specific lookups, e.g. SQL $sa_tag_level_deflt = 2.9; # add spam info headers if at, or above that level $sa_tag2_level_deflt = 3.0; # add 'spam detected' headers at that level $sa_kill_level_deflt = $sa_tag2_level_deflt; # triggers spam evasive actions # at or above that level: bounce/reject/drop, # quarantine, and adding mail address extension I don't know where you got the value 5.0 in your amavisd.conf as I don't believe it is the default (not that mine are either), unless you did in fact change it. Basically with a tag level of 0 you are tagging ALL email as being suspicious (in the header of the email, so that you can sort on it...), where 5.0 is the second level that probably blocks/bounces, but again depends on your config. Hope this helps, Jason
