Spam Tag Level

[amavis-user]

Hi all !

Recently we receive a lot more spam than bevore. Our spamtrap:
Amavisd-new + Razor + Spamassassin used to kill most spam but now quite a lot slips through.
I wanted to change the variable:
$sa_kill_level_deflt from 6,9 (default) to 5 ...
I changed it in the amavisd.conf anyway all our quarantined spam and the spam coming through still has in
The header :
Spamlevel = 6.9

Is this the right attempt to tune ?
What am I doning wrong. I have for sure stoped and started amavisd ...

The level reported in inserted headers is tag2 level,
which is normally the same as kill level, but can be specified
separately. Could it be you only changed the kill level
and not the tag2 level?


amavisd-new-20030314 release notes:

- split kill_level setting into two independent settings: tag2_level,
and kill_level. A quick reference:
tag_level controls adding the X-Spam-Status and X-Spam-Level headers,
tag2_level controls adding 'X-Spam-Flag: YES', and editing Subject,
kill_level controls 'evasive actions' (reject, quarantine, extensions);
The default is tag2_level=kill_level, which retains compatibility.


Mark
