Re: [AMaViS-user] Spam kill and pass question

[uwe s. f. <uf...@ph...>]

Anders,

        The setting "$sa_dsn_cutoff_level = 15" does only stop the sending of "Your mail looks like SPAM"-replies to the sender if the email's value is (at or) above 15 (in your case.)

        You'll have to set "$sa_kill_level_deflt" to a higher value (ie. 15) than "$sa_tag2_level_deflt" to achieve what you want.  In this case you also wouldn't want to change the "$final_spam_destiny" from it's default.

In short:
- tag_level: when to start adding X- headers
- tag2_level: when to start marking emails as SPAM
- kill_level: when to reject/quarantine/... SPAM

        If you wouldn't have set "$final_spam_destiny" to D_PASS, you would've never received any SPAM tagged emails at all with "$sa_kill_level_deflt = $sa_tag2_level_deflt" and "$final_spam_destiny = D_BOUNCE."

BTW: here's a pretty good HOWTO for that *_level stuff:
