RBL Use

Post #1 of 5 (1805 views)

I am trying to use Spam-cop to boost the scores of the spam still making
its way to our inboxes. I have created my own tests.cf in
/etc/mail/spamassassin with the Spam-cop RBL, with modified scores.
>>From what I can tell by looking at headers, the custom rules I have
placed in this directory are not being used by spamassassin.

I have Jennifer's backhair, chickenpox and weeds in this directory with
my local.cf and my own tests.cf.

Is there a way to make spamassassin show the scores per rule in the
email headers? I would like to see the breakdown or scores so I can
determine which rules need tweaking.

Thanks folks.

Why not just use RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET ?

I have already set that rule to 3.0 in /etc/mail/spamassassin/tests.cf

tests.cf:

[root@ns includes]# cat /etc/mail/spamassassin/tests.cf
# Scores for Spamcop and similar.
score RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET 4.0
score RCVD_IN_DUL 2.0
score RCVD_IN_DUL_FH 2.0
score RCVD_IN_RBL 3.0
score RCVD_IN_RSS 3.0

These scores are simply not being checked.

1) if you run with spamd, you have restarted it?
2) if you run with -D, it says it's using the proper path?
3) running "spamassassin --lint" returns no errors?

I have restarted spamd.

spamassassin -D --lint shows the correct paths. It does list
/etc/mail/spamassassin for site prefs.

spamassassin --lint shows no errors.

Any other ideas?
