Hello,

In DA in spamassassin setup I have settings:

Would you like to delete high scoring spam?
Yes, block all spam scoring higher than: (1-99, no decimals),

where my score level is 15.00, but spam marked email landing in my messages .

Why ??????

Help me

Regards.
 
Look at the scores SpamAssassin is applying to thos emails. Are they all over 15?

Remember that -x is always lower than 0.

Yes, below example e-mail with SA score's:

And this e-mail is marked as spam, but not deleted.
Why ???
 
I'm noticing same problems here. Some of the messages, but not all of them, are going through. I've checked "delete spam" but few messages goes through even when they are marked as spam. I've checked the headers and that's what I've found in one of them:

I know that exim is looking for "Yes," in "X-Spam-Status" header and it is there but this specific message was not deleted.

Here are the logs from /var/log/exim/mainlog:

We have the same problem

Hello

We have the same problem, our client are pissed. When you make any solution for this?
 
Hello,

And one email received again today.

X-Spam-Flag: YES
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.2.5 (2008-06-10) on i13.xxx.eu
X-Spam-Level: ******
X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=7.0 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_50,HTML_IMAGE_RATIO_04,
HTML_MESSAGE,URIBL_AB_SURBL,URIBL_BLACK,URIBL_JP_SURBL,URIBL_WS_SURBL
autolearn=no version=3.2.5


It has a nice ***SPAM*** tag, but it should be DELETED from point 5.0

Please DA look into this and advise.
Regards,
HKI
 
I too have noticed this exact same issue, its only started happening recently.
 
Everyone keeps writing they have the same problem but no one has responded to my question above.

My recollection is that after email goes through SpamAssassin it goes back into exim. Is that correct, anyone (I don't remember with certainty)?

Do you see anything different in the log entries between emails that get properly handled and those that don't?

Are you sure that the email is getting those SpamAssassin headers on your server, and not on a previous server forwarding (relaying) the mail to you?

I'm not an expert in SpamAssassin and I don't know if anyone here is. But if someone could take the time to track the email through the logs, maybe we can figure it out.

Jeff
