OK, now you're messing with my head. I specifically went to that link and your post was at around 1 pm, and the note I was quoting didn't get posted till after 3, so I thought you had ANOTHER great pearl of wisdom for us!
Guess you had a long day yesterday too, eh?

After all, they convinced the SA people to use a -4.2 and even got it upped to -4.5...and they wanted -100 sheesh! |
Had a hunch I wasn't the only one who thought that showed a bit of cojones. . .
Edit: Lest anyone think I was engaging in a bit of hyperbole about that -100 score, it's on their website:

SpamAssassin 2.2x/2.3x For versions 2.2x and 2.3x, configuring SpamAssassin to use Bonded Sender requires you to add the following lines to your local SpamAssassin configuration file (such as /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf):
header RCVD_IN_BONDEDSENDER eval:check_rbl('relay', 'sa.bondedsender.org.')
describe RCVD_IN_BONDEDSENDER Received via a whitelisted Bonded Sender address
score RCVD_IN_BONDEDSENDER -100.000
The large negative value informs SpamAssassin that the message is less likely to be spam.

b) You can only call it a 'false positive' if you know about it! -lol

My thought, and what I teach my users, is you glance at the junk folder once in a while to look for stuff you should have gotten, or you go there when somebody swears they sent you a message you haven't gotten. Other than that, I look at it with a bit more care now while I'm tuning the system, but I fully expect to ignore it after that. I have already set my global defaults to clean out the junk messages after 5 days to keep mailbox size under control.
We're a small shop; total of only 500-600 messages a day for 30 users, and roughly 40% spam (the bulk of that to only two users), so it's pretty easy to keep an eye on things.
