The scores file can be found in /usr/share/spamassassin/50_scores.cf The scores file in the RPM will for example penalise mails originating from Kmail by 1.634 points instead of the -2.863 points in the 'official' scores file. (A negative score is indicative of non-spam) Another example: The mildly 'spammish' phrase "Congratulations" is scored as 0.218 points in the official score file, but is given a massively non spammish score of -3.077 in the score file in the RPM. In order to revert back to the 'official' scores, just download the spamassassin tar.gz file from www.spamassassin.org and decompress the compressed file (just clicking on it in konqueror is all you need to do this), then copy 50_scores.cf into /usr/share/spamassassin Editor's note: This thread was originally posted at the old MUB (Mandrake User Board at club-nihil).
