<p dir="auto">Hiya,</p>
<p dir="auto">much as I like MailMate, I find its support for spam detection sub-par. I understand that there is a preference for SpamSieve but many mail servers already have spam filters like Spam Assassin, so why not make more us of them? Even Apple Mail does a good job with them. As a result, I'm currently running Apple Mail on accounts where I'm seeing a lot of spam and let it the filtering. I checked the rules that are used and they don't look bad:</p>
<ul>
<li>sender in contacts</li>
<li>sender in exisiting recipients</li>
<li>to contains full name</li>
<li>trust spam headers</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Has anyone figured out conditions for rules like this? I've got headers like this:</p>
<p dir="auto">X-Spam-Status: No, score=4.8 required=5.0 tests=HTML_FONT_LOW_CONTRAST,<br>
HTML_MESSAGE,NORDNS_LOW_CONTRAST,RDNS_NONE,SUBJ_ALL_CAPS,<br>
URIBL_ABUSE_SURBL,URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=no autolearn_force=no<br>
version=3.4.2</p>
<p dir="auto">Where I'd like to be able to set the threshold a bit lower but I can't think of an easy way of doing this at the moment with the score not being available as a separate header.</p>
<p dir="auto">What are you all doing?</p>
