Stupid Rules Wizard Spam Problem

[alfista]

Hi All,

I'm probably just being brain dead, but hoping someone could help me with this.

I have three anti-spam rules on a mailbox that is receiving a lot of spam. They were added by command-line (sxaa) and no other rules exist on the mailbox:

Code: Select all

sxaa --user nancy --file "Deleted Items" --header "X-Spam-Level:***************"
sxaa --user nancy --file "Spam - Definite" --header "X-Spam-Level:********"
sxaa --user nancy --file "Spam - Possible" --header "X-Spam-Status: Yes"

My expected behavior is spam of a 15 or higher score be deleted, 8 or higher be moved into a 'Spam Definite' folder and anything that survives that is still tagged as Spam go into a 'Spam Possible' folder.

But here's what I'm seeing:

It appears some messages are being deleted because the spam volume appears to have been reduced. However, messages between 5.6 and 30 are being found in the 'Spam - Possible' folder and a 'Spam - Definite' folder has not been created. What am I missing? Is it processing the last rule added first?

Thanks,

Jason

Hi,

please show us the output of sxaa --user --list

This will display the list of rules in the sequence they are being processed.

Also note that rules are all processed from top to bottom unless a message is deleted. Moving to the Deleted items folder does not count ;-)

Cheers,

Sascha.

Hi Sascha - thanks for the reply.

the options you specify did not appear to work. I ran the command below.

Code: Select all

[root@mail i386]# sxaa --user nancy
OOF FLT OLK AANO ACTION         TITLE                           STATE
--- --- --- ---- ----------     ------------------------------  --------
     Y      500  FILE           SXAA FILE:500                   enabled
     Y      501  FILE           SXAA FILE:501                   enabled
     Y      502  FILE           SXAA FILE:502                   enabled


Sorry if I've missed something - its been a long day...[/code]
