Are you having trouble with MS, SA and SPAM try this

[daveg]

Good Day all

I have noticed a increase in spam and have tracked part of it down to the SpamAssassin rule "RCVD_IN_DNSWL_HI -5.00"
I have my SA score set to 5 as max until it tag's email as spam and at 10 it will be deleted.

The above rule is/was changing the SA score so much it was causing legit
spam to be marked as ham not good to say the least.
It is the highest hit rule in the list!!
Rule Description Total Ham % Spam %
RCVD_IN_DNSWL_HI 21,594 12,466 57.7 9,128 42.3

To fix I added " score RCVD_IN_DNSWL_HI 0.00 " to " /etc/mail/spamassassin/mailscanner DOT cf " section: Disable SpamAssassin Rules

My only guess is the SPAM'ers found a way to use the list at www DOT dnswl DOT org to there advantage.

Hope this help a few of you as it did me.
