<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi Chris,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> This has been touched on before. You should disable your Auto White List feature in SpamAssassin. Take a look in your scores. AWL is listed as 0.00. I was running into the same problem quite frequently before I turned it off. AWL is actually a non 0 value, but it shows up as 0 when displayed with the rules.</FONT></P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> I first learned about this problem in an older thread here:</FONT>

<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I've just been forwarded some spam that was correctly identified as spam, yet</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>MailScanner didn't tag it as such. According to the score header, it got a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>4.6 (my threshold is 5.0), yet if you manually add everything up, it's really</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>a 5.37. See below.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Spam: not spam, SpamAssassin (score=4.6, required 5, AWL 0.00, CLICK_BELOW</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>0.10, DCC_CHECK 4.90, OFFER 0.10, REMOVE_PAGE 0.27)</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>The only tweaking I've done to the scores is that I've manually changed the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>score of DCC_Check to 4.90 in spam.assassin.prefs.conf, like so:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>score DCC_CHECK 4.9</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>dcc_path /usr/local/bin/dccproc</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>What do I fix and how?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks,</FONT>
