[SA-exim] Spam being let through.

Hi,

Has anyone seen this before? The spam is being let through, even though
the score is over 5.

X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.1.7 (2006-10-05) on av-1
X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=5.6 required=5.0 tests=AWL,FUZZY_OCR_KNOWN_HASH,
FUZZY_OCR_WRONG_EXTENSION,HTML_10_20,HTML_MESSAGE,MIME_HTML_ONLY
autolearn=no version=3.1.7

Here is the part of the exim configuration which should drop the message

# Reject spam messages with score over 5, using an extra condition.
drop message = This message has a spam score of $spam_score points
spam = nobody:true
condition = ${if >={$spam_score_int}{50}{1}{0}}

I've configured Spamassassin on a central server and set sa-exim to use
the remote server. Is this likely to cause issues?

Any thoughts?

Cheers
Tim

i am no expert but I thought that this was set in /etc/exim4/sa-
exim.conf (or wherever you have you exim installed)

SApermreject: 5.0

Dp.

Er, If you use SA-Exim to call SpamAssassin, you have to configure the
thresholds in sa-exim.conf. SA-Exim runs *after* all the ACLs. If you use the
built-in content scanning ACL conditions and variables you don't need
SA-Exim.

Hi,

I see. It looks like we use sa-exim and exiscan.

Thanks for the clarification.
