Want to make spam detection more aggressive?

We’ve recently started including the following SpamAssassin score modifications to help boost the identification of incoming spam with MailScanner. To do it yourself, create a file called /etc/mail/spamassassin/configserver.cf and add the following lines:

score BAYES_99 5.0score URIBL_SBL 5.0score URIBL_AB_SURBL 5.0score URIBL_OB_SURBL 5.0score URIBL_PH_SURBL 5.0score URIBL_SC_SURBL 5.0score URIBL_WS_SURBL 5.0score URIBL_JP_SURBL 5.0

Then reload MailScanner:

service MailScanner reload

That’s it. This makes your Bayesian database have a greater say in what is very likely to be spam and also boosts the scores of emails that contain URI’s in known spam from various URI RBL spam lists
