MailScanner --lint error

[Greg J. McGreevy]

you mean this one? 
 
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.virus.mailscanner/54241/match=how-to
 
What do you have your score set to for Mailscanner mine is currently set to 6 and 10 (defaults I guess) most of the stuff I am seeing is hitting 1.5 to 3 for the SA score (all Spam) should I set these lower or tune Spamassassin to get a higher score? I am looking for a good start to finish tuning plan for everything that will get the majority of Spam caught (Quarantined) I am ok with some false positives. Right now it is not doing a very good job catching anything. I need to get this tuned ASAP and would be willing to pay someone to tweak things a bit to get this working 
 
 
Thanks,
Greg

Back in about July 2007, I posted a HOWTO which you may find helps you,
as a lot of it is still quite valid. It had HOWTO in the subject line,
and will be in the list archive.

I do however have some additional questions I need to fine tune the spamassassin/MailScanner to catch more SPAM it does not seem like it is catching very much. everything is installed with defaults any step by step tuning is appreciated. Also I went here http://corebsd.com/node/6 for the Mailwatch install for the Qaurantine release info (which made sense to me) but the entries I added brought me back here with the errors described earlier. I have since removed them.
