    I've been experiencing some difficulties in handling spam. I found this thread, which I used, but also set bad header to discard: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34670

    Here's the settings in /etc/amavis/conf.d/50-user:
    Code:
    $final_virus_destiny = D_BOUNCE;
    $final_spam_destiny = D_DISCARD;
    $final_banned_destiny = D_BOUNCE;
    $final_bad_header_destiny = D_DISCARD;
    
    What I find strange is that these are my settings on my Squeeze server. When I receive email in Kmail on Wheezy, several of them are marked as spam by the locally installed SpamAssain program, which are not being caught by my Squeeze server.

    Why is this happening?

    $sa_spam_subject_tag = '***SPAM*** ';
    $sa_tag_level_deflt = 20.0; # add spam info headers if at, or above that level
    $sa_tag2_level_deflt = 60.0; # add 'spam detected' headers at that level
    $sa_kill_level_deflt = 60.0; # triggers spam evasive actions
    $sa_dsn_cutoff_level = 100; # spam level beyond which a DSN is not sent

    Christian

    Hi Christian,

    These are my settings:
    # Default settings, we st this very high to not filter aut emails accidently
    $sa_spam_subject_tag = '***SPAM*** ';
    $sa_tag_level_deflt = 20.0; # add spam info headers if at, or above that level
    $sa_tag2_level_deflt = 60.0; # add 'spam detected' headers at that level
    $sa_kill_level_deflt = 60.0; # triggers spam evasive actions
    $sa_dsn_cutoff_level = 100; # spam level beyond which a DSN is not sent
