I have no idea how this is happening but i seem to have one email account ignoring spamassassin settings or using the default settings.

I have the require score set to 12, however one email account thinks the score is 5.

The original message was not completely plain text, and may be unsafe to open with some email clients; in particular, it may contain a virus, or confirm that your address can receive spam. If you wish to view it, it may be safer to save it to a file and open it with an editor.


The other interesting thing is that this email is from and to the same domain. Doesn't that normally skip spamsassassin altogether?

When looking at the email headers for other users under this domain I can see their required score is 12. Why would a single account under the same domain think the required score is 5?

Thanks,

Keefe
 
Here's a test to another email account setup on the same domain.

Here's an email from the person who is having the problem to another user on the same server and domain.

Also, aren't emails TO and FROM the same domain sent locally suppose to bypass spamassassin anyways?

Here's a test i did:

In addition to emails from person1 ignoring the required spam score they are also ignoring the whitelist.

Was that sent in a webmail?
 
You might need to enable logging of spamd actions and see the logs then.
Or you need somebody to check the things from inside on your server.
