High scoring spam rules file

[mailinglist]

Not sure if this is right but I noticed in the log it was complaining about
high.spam.rules appearing to be a rules file and needing renaming to .rule
or .rules. Odd I thought so I renamed to highspam.rules and it is now
working.

Also I removed the FromOrTo: for the default and changed it to just To:

One of these actions appears to have fixed it.

Thanks all.

Dee

Make sure that the actual recipient (envelope-to) is somedomain.com


If its to multiple recipients only the first will take effect unless you do
something clever like split out to individual recipients at the MTA as
described in the wiki.
