<P><FONT SIZE=2>Does anyone know how to change the default behavior of my blacklist to consider messages that match my spam.blacklist.rules as high scoring spam instead of spam? </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>My spam action is deliver (with modified subject) which allows me to score aggressively for this category because the user gets the message and can review it (or have it sent to a spam folder based on {Spam?} subject). My high scoring spam action is set to store so users never see these but I can retrieve them if need be. I am now beginning to build an extensive blacklist and would rather these messages be considered high scoring spam than spam. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2># Spam Blacklist:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2># Make this point to a ruleset, and anything in that ruleset whose value</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2># is "yes" will *always* be marked as spam.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2># This can also be the filename of a ruleset.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Is Definitely Spam = %rules-dir%/spam.blacklist.rules</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I looked through the docs and read there are ways to set a blacklist action in spamassassin but would rather keep this as a function of mailscanner. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Perhaps a new feature could be to create a new directive such as:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Is Definitely High Scoring Spam = %rules-dir%/spam.superblacklist.rules</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks,</FONT>
