I like the X-Spam-Status
short version of X-Spam-Report
. Do we need the X-Spam-Report
at all?
Regarding $spam_bar
or X-Spam-Level
, I don't have a real preference, you can set filters on both.
$spam_report
contains whatever message body the REPORT SPAMC/1.2
command generates. And by default it generates that huge report with a totally redundant message preview. I like X-Spam-Status
as well, which is why I've modified my report template to return a string looking like that header. My idea is that IF you agree to edit the SA template, then you'll probably want to set the macro and return the contents of $spam_report
in the X-Spam-Status
header instead of X-Spam-Report
. Otherwise (by default) we should probably still write it as X-Spam-Report
, because the format differs so much (not like this is a very strong argument though).
I just scanned my mails a bit with the spam-header. There are some rules, where your X-Spam-Status
is not really helping, e.g. the auto white-list:
Content analysis details: (0.3 points, 5.0 required)
pts rule name description
---- ---------------------- --------------------------------------------------
-1.9 BAYES_00 BODY: Bayes spam probability is 0 to 1%
[score: 0.0001]
0.7 MIME_HTML_ONLY BODY: Message only has text/html MIME parts
0.2 HTML_MESSAGE BODY: HTML included in message
-0.1 DKIM_VALID_AU Message has a valid DKIM or DK signature from author's
domain
-0.1 DKIM_VALID Message has at least one valid DKIM or DK signature
0.1 DKIM_SIGNED Message has a DKIM or DK signature, not necessarily valid
0.8 RDNS_NONE Delivered to internal network by a host with no rDNS
0.6 AWL AWL: Adjusted score from AWL reputation of From: address
It can be negative or positive, it depends on the reputation. The short version is:
X-Spam-Status: No, score=0.3 required=5.0 tests=AWL,BAYES_00,DKIM_SIGNED,
DKIM_VALID,DKIM_VALID_AU,HTML_MESSAGE,MIME_HTML_ONLY,RDNS_NONE autolearn=no
autolearn_force=no version=3.4.0
If you are stilll setting up your mailserver and check the spam-mails, these details can be interesting. Not sure how to handle this best, put the X-Spam-Report
only in mails that were identified as spam?
This is slightly related to #203, but can be done separately, so filing it as a separate issue.
I think it would be nicer for us to add same headers that SA adds when scanning messages independently. Here's an example of what SA adds:
I'm not sure if we can find out SpamAssassin version easily, but we could at least put our system name in
X-Spam-Checker-Version
. Interestingly, spamassasin generatesX-Spam-Level
as*****
, whereas$spam_bar
is returned as either+++++
or----
, and I think it can end with a/
.X-Spam-Status
is the most interesting: I have a recipe of duplicating it in$spam_report
, but that requires editing SpamAssassin config file. Perhaps we should add a macro to easily toggle whether$acl_m_spam_report
should be written asX-Spam-Report
orX-Spam-Status
, explaining that you may want to set this macro after editing the SA config file?
