Customization of Rulescores
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While the default scoring of {spamassassin}'s ruleset provides very good
detection rates, sometimes your particular environment can benefit from
slightly adjusting the score of a particular rule. Two examples:
* Your system receives spam mails which are scored at 4.9 and you have
a rule which puts all mails above 5 in the quarantine. The one thing the
spam mails have in common is that they all hit 'URIBL_BLACK'. By increasing
the score of this rule by 0.2 points the spam mails would all be quarantined
instead of being sent to your users
* Your system tags many legitimate mails from a partner organization as spam,
because the organization has a policy that each mail has to start with
'Dear madam or sir' (generating 1.9 points through the rule
'DEAR_SOMETHING'). By setting the score of this rule to 0 you can disable
it completely.
The system logs all rules which particular mail hits. Analyzing the logs can
lead to finding such a pattern in your environment.
You can adjust the score of a rule by creating a new 'Custom Rule Score' entry
in the GUI.
NOTE: In general it is strongly recommended to not make large changes to the
default scores.
