In some cases, users like to give more weight or importance to specific Spam Blocker hosts over other Spam Blocker hosts. The following instructions will allow you to add a set number of points to the Spam Filter score based on what Spam Blocker host has a hit on the email.
First, change the ''message’’ field for each RBL host under Security
| Spam Blocker | RBL Hosts tab to just the name of the RBL. For
example, change the ''message’'; for SPAMCOP to ''SPAMCOP’’.
Set up rules in SA looking for each of those RBL names in the X-RBL-Warning header, and add points based on each.
As an example, add these lines to the \MDaemon\SpamAssassin\Rules\local.cf file to assign points for each RBL:
header SB_SPAMCOP X-RBL-Warning =~ /SPAMCOP/i
describe SB_SPAMCOP: MDaemon Spam Blocker Reports SpamCop Match
score SB_SPAMCOP 2.0
header SB_SPAMHAUS X-RBL-Warning =~ /SPAMHAUS/i
describe SB_SPAMHAUS: MDaemon Spam Blocker Reports SpamHaus Match
score SB_SPAMHAUS 3.5
With this approach you can add weight to specific RBL hosts easily.
Additional Comments
After editing the local.cf, be sure to restart MDaemon or place a blank file called cfilter.sem into the MDaemon\app directory so that MDaemon sees the change.
