Yeah I looked at the message headers and they arent being sent by us (phew!) - the word seems to be 'sit it out' but it realy makes me angry since we are a business that depends on email, and being blacklisted would be apolcalyptic....
Out of interest, why do mail servers relay mail from ISPs that allow spammers? Surely all the spam in the world could be solved by a law that says:
It is illegal for ISPs to allow spammers on their network, or recieve mail from an ISP that allows spammers.
?

hello! this is my first post in this forum :)
when sending mail from unix, using the mailx facility, does it save a copy of the sent mail anywhere on the server? Or if the mail is not delivered to the recipient, does it write a notification to the user about the status of the mail?
thanks! (0 Replies)

Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::AutoLearnThreshold(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::AutoLearnThreshold(3pm)
NAME
Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::AutoLearnThreshold - threshold-based discriminator for Bayes auto-learning
SYNOPSIS
loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::AutoLearnThreshold
DESCRIPTION
This plugin implements the threshold-based auto-learning discriminator for SpamAssassin's Bayes subsystem. Auto-learning is a mechanism
whereby high-scoring mails (or low-scoring mails, for non-spam) are fed into its learning systems without user intervention, during
scanning.
Note that certain tests are ignored when determining whether a message should be trained upon:
o rules with tflags set to 'learn' (the Bayesian rules)
o rules with tflags set to 'userconf' (user configuration)
o rules with tflags set to 'noautolearn'
Also note that auto-learning occurs using scores from either scoreset 0 or 1, depending on what scoreset is used during message check. It
is likely that the message check and auto-learn scores will be different.
USER OPTIONS
The following configuration settings are used to control auto-learning:
bayes_auto_learn_threshold_nonspam n.nn (default: 0.1)
The score threshold below which a mail has to score, to be fed into SpamAssassin's learning systems automatically as a non-spam
message.
bayes_auto_learn_threshold_spam n.nn (default: 12.0)
The score threshold above which a mail has to score, to be fed into SpamAssassin's learning systems automatically as a spam message.
Note: SpamAssassin requires at least 3 points from the header, and 3 points from the body to auto-learn as spam. Therefore, the
minimum working value for this option is 6.
bayes_auto_learn_on_error (0 | 1) (default: 0)
With "bayes_auto_learn_on_error" off, autolearning will be performed even if bayes classifier already agrees with the new
classification (i.e. yielded BAYES_00 for what we are now trying to teach it as ham, or yielded BAYES_99 for spam). This is a
traditional setting, the default was chosen to retain backwards compatibility.
With "bayes_auto_learn_on_error" turned on, autolearning will be performed only when a bayes classifier had a different opinion from
what the autolearner is now trying to teach it (i.e. it made an error in judgement). This strategy may or may not produce better future
classifications, but usually works very well, while also preventing unnecessary overlearning and slows down database growth.
