Treat Invalid Watermarks with No Sender as Spam

[Shawn Iverson]

I spoke too soon, now I am having the opposite effect.
Treat Invalid Watermarks with No Sender As Spam 
is halting subsequent rule processing on my system.  As soon as an email matches this rule, spam checks do not proceed.
So, if I set a low score, all matching emails are non-spam (becuase Spamassassin doesn't get a chance to scan further)
And, if I set a high score, all matching emails are spam by default.
Catch 22
I'm going to dive into the MailScanner code and see what is actually happening....

Setting to a low score has helped immensely.  Messages are still getting caught by the other algorithms while allowing legit emails through.

 

I will make a feature request, though.

 

It appears in the MailScanner code that when Treat Invalid Watermarks with No Sender As Spam equals anything spam or higher, further rule processing is halted.  This is taking precedence over whitelisting/blacklisting and probably should not.

What happens when you assign it a numeric value?
