Hi,

I know that there are many more MailScanner rules than what typically shows up in the email header, but I wonder, what is logic of rules that display a zero (0.00) score?

For example, I am seeing a lot of these lately:

URIBL_BLOCKED 0.00

So, what does that mean? Does it mean that the incoming IP was indeed listed in this blacklist, but MailScanner did not place any importance on this listing? I am just guessing here. Overall I wish I could find some better documentation that explains this.

And what does this mean:

SPF_HELO_PASS -0.00

A rule with a negative zero? I've been puzzled about this for years at this point.

Thanks for any advice.

You can find out more about any of the spamassassin tests by either googling for them or going to http://spamassassin.apache.org/tests_3_3_x.html. The URIBL_BLOCKED appears to mean that your server has been blocked from the URIBL blacklist server.

Regarding the negative 0.00 score, I suspect that if you look in the actual SA rules file (these are in /var/lib/spamassassin/[version]/) you will find that it is -0.001.
