Hello, we are receiving a lot of spam like this. The sender is listed in URIBL_DBL_SPAM and URIBL_BLACK but it is not enough to consider the email as spam. How can I increase the scores for these list to a higher value? Content analysis details: (2.3 points, 5.0 required) pts rule name description ---- ---------------------- -------------------------------------------------- 1.7 URIBL_BLACK Contains an URL listed in the URIBL blacklist [URIs: verck.in.net] 2.5 URIBL_DBL_SPAM Contains a spam URL listed in the DBL blocklist [URIs: verck.in.net] -0.0 SPF_HELO_PASS SPF: HELO matches SPF record -0.0 T_RP_MATCHES_RCVD Envelope sender domain matches handover relay domain -0.0 SPF_PASS SPF: sender matches SPF record 0.0 HTML_IMAGE_RATIO_06 BODY: HTML has a low ratio of text to image area -1.9 BAYES_00 BODY: Bayes spam probability is 0 to 1% [score: 0.0000] 0.0 HTML_MESSAGE BODY: HTML included in message 0.0 HTML_FONT_LOW_CONTRAST BODY: HTML font color similar or identical to background 0.0 UNPARSEABLE_RELAY Informational: message has unparseable relay lines 0.0 T_REMOTE_IMAGE Message contains an external image X-Spam-Flag: NO

  Hello :) Have you considered implementing Greylisting to help prevent SPAM instead of lowering the detection threshold? It's likely to prevent more SPAM and avoid blocking legitimate email this way. It's documented at:

  Hello Michael, in fact Greylisting is not stopping these emails. This is the reason because I want to modify SpamAssassin scores. Thanks a lot. Regards, Equens.

  I'd still advise against adjusting the scores if you are concerned about blocking legitimate emails. Another option to consider is found on this thread:
