Re: [AMaViS-user] SA + Amavisd-new not tagging spam efficently

[Mark M. <Mar...@ij...>]

| I recently installed amavisd-new to work with SpamAssassin 2.63.  Previous
| to that, I just had SA installed to tag email as spam.  With just SA
| installed, I was tagging 80-90% of the spam that was incoming.  After
| installing amavis, the rate has dropped to around 10-15%.  I have checked
| "amavisd debug-sa" for file locations and settings.  I have also fed about
| 2000 plus messages into the bayes database.

If both use the same SA config file, rules, database,
and spam tag2/kill level is the same as required_hits previously,
you should be seeing identical results,


| #$sa_auto_whitelist = 1;    # turn on AWL (default: false)

You may want to enable SA AWL.

| debug: Razor2 is not available

If Razor2 is installed but SA does not like it,
you may need to apply Razor agent taint patch,
or use the latest Razor agents which are said to
incorporate this patch.

You may want to make the home directory of user vscan the /var/amavis

| debug: is DNS available? 0

And enable DNS in SA.
