Hi,

q1. If the exim ACL is set to reject a score of 15 and also rewrite the subject for a score of 9 to 15 - what purpose is the option (required_score 15) in local.cf for ?

q2. How can I add new rules ?

Do I edit /etc/mail/rulesdujour/my_rules_du_jour ? If so, can I simply add to the TRUSTED_RULESETS= line or is it neccessary to add the information to the "Local SpamAssassin/system Settings" section ?

q3. Do you know of a sample sql file I can import into my bayes mysql database ? I was hoping someobody out there might produce one for the purpose of reaching the minimum required for learning.

Thanks for your time.

>> q1. If the exim ACL is set to reject a score of 15 and also rewrite the subject for a score of 9 to 15 - what purpose is the option (required_score 15) in local.cf for ?

It used by Bayesian to learn whether the email should identify as Spam or Ham. If I am not wrong, I set it at 12 not 15.

>> q2. How can I add new rules ?

You can do that if the rules distributed by SARE. If you want to create your own, just place the file in /etc/spamassassin/.

>> q3. Do you know of a sample sql file I can import into my bayes mysql database ? I was hoping someobody out there might produce one for the purpose of reaching the minimum required for learning.

No. It is impossible to import the Bayes data from other servers. It is complicated and hard to explain.

Thanks for your reply.

I want to add two SARE rules. Do I just download the rules to /etc/mail/spamassassin/rulesdujour and add them to "trusted rulesets" or do I need to do more than that ?

What I'm trying to establish here is the purpose of adding the extra lines into the my rules file ?

############################################
#### Begin Personal Rules File Registry ####
############################################

#### Here are settings for sare_redirect post 3.0.0 version ##### Enable munge to activate ham rules
SARE_REDIRECT_POST300=1102;
CF_URLS[1102]="http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules/72_sare_redirect_post3.0.0.cf"
CF_FILES[1102]="72_sare_redirect_post3.0.0.cf";
CF_NAMES[1102]="SARE Abused Redirect Subject Ruleset for SpamAssassin (post3.0.0)";
PARSE_NEW_VER_SCRIPTS[1102]="${PERL} -ne 'print if /^\s*#.*(vers?|version|rev|revision)[:\.\s]*[0-9]/i ;' | sort | tail -1";
# CF_MUNGE_SCRIPTS[1102]="sed -e s/#+#//g";

ETC ETC

Why are these needed ? If I add more rules - should I add more to this section ?

You said that already. I dont think you understand my question.

In your tutorial - you explained that we must add to this section

If I want to add more SARE rules - do I need to extend that section with info on the rules ?

I am not sure about that. You need to try it. For the recent SARE, most rules are default you just need to make sure the rules are listed in TRUSTED_RULESETS.
