Re: [AMaViS-user] Question on tag2, kill, & cutoff levels

Kevin,

        You've got it right.  I'm not the designer of that default setup, but I think the idea behind it was to keep those "most likely to be spam"-messages out of your mailbox, too, whereas the original sender does get a warning and therefore a chance to re-submit the message after editing when the spam score was high, but less than $sa_dsn_cutoff_level.

        For me personally that makes sense and I'd go for that in the first step.  Unfortunately I'm running a multi domain hosting server and some people over here don't feel comfortable with the chance of possibly loosing one ham message within 100 spam emails, so...

My current setup is:
$sa_tag_level_deflt  = -999;
$sa_tag2_level_deflt = 4;
$sa_kill_level_deflt = 7;
$sa_dsn_cutoff_level = 10;
