I have my Spam Assassin settings at 1.5 "hits", but I see email going into my Greymail with a 1.9 score. It seems to be primarily from a google groups list that has been fine for quite some time. But a 1.9 should go through to my mail box, right?

What's up with that?

By the silence, I'm guessing I'm the only one with this issue. Anywho, it seems to have cleared up, with my spam filtering working normally.

Hi bobrk,

We really apologize for the delay in response here. It is correct that there was no outage or known issue with the spamfiltering in the past few days. That being said, if the emails are getting placed in Greymail might have triggered a blacklist entry. I'd like to try and nail down what happened here. That'll need to be by checking the logs. Could you do me a favor and get me the details of some of these emails that were incorrectly flagged. Just direct message me the following for one or more of the problem emails:
The sender of the email
The email it got sent to
The time it got sent

With those I should be able to nail down how they got flagged as Greymail. It might be a bit of a bug we have on our hands here.

Until then,

Those emails are long gone. When I see the problem again, I'll post the email...

Looks like I got one that should have gone through. Here is the raw source showing the score of 2.1, which is way more than the 1.5 required to go through...

Hi Bobrk,

After rereading all this, I think we might have gotten our wires crossed. Spamassassin will send something to Greymail if it has a score above the threshold. That means, if you have your score set to 1.5 anything with a score of lower than 1.5 will get passed to the regular inbox and everything 1.5 and above goes into Greymail. In this case that email should have gone to Greymail based on it's score.

I apologize I misunderstood the initial question.

Ok, I wasn't sure if I got that turned around or not. And I run my so I have to whitelist most senders, so this is fine. Thanks, sorry for the confusion.

Hey, I know I need to get a life but Spam Assassin is letting spam come in to my regular inbox with a score of 79.0 or 65.0 or similar, way above what the supposed spam limit is. When spams come in to my regular inbox, I do a "show source", find the return email address, copy it, and put it in my blacklist (with asterisks, etc) so that this doesn't happen again.

Still, I'm just very annoyed and wanted to let Sonic know that this has been happening a lot in the past few months.
