Explanation of Score

[Steve Hamilton]

Ronnie,

I have the following options set, which will give you a more detailed Spam
Scoring section and show you the individual scores:

Include Scores In SpamAssassin Report = yes

Detailed Spam Report = yes


Then, you can go about modifying the Spam Rules as needed to catch these
messages...

Hope that helps...

Steve Hamilton
