I have this there:

#score ALL_TRUSTED -2.400 -2.820 -2.867 -3.300
score ALL_TRUSTED -0.600 -0.705 -0.717 -0.825

It is not used, I get the old score.

I have had this there for days:

#score ALL_TRUSTED -2.400 -2.820 -2.867 -3.300
#score ALL_TRUSTED -0.600 -0.705 -0.717 -0.825
score ALL_TRUSTED 0

It doesn't work either.

That's what I've been saying all along :-}

I did, nothing happened. As I power off everyday, I mentioned that reboot
didn't help - just in case.

At last! I got it working; it took some convincing.

It seems that changes in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf takes precedence,
so whatever I did to 50_score.cf was ignored. But I still don't see why my
initial changes to local.cf did not work. Whatever, it works today :-)


Ummm! I still have to figure out why scores of bayes_99 do not trigger an
email being spam. Either I modify my rules in procmail, or I modify the
scoring of Bayesian tests.

You see, even without the ALL_TRUSTED thing, it still is not flagged as
spam:

X-Spam-Status: No, score=4.9 required=5.0 tests=AWL,BAYES_99,HTML_20_30,
HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_24,HTML_MESSAGE autolearn=no version=3.0.2

Perhaps increasing the score of HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_24 :-?
