hmailserver dkim spam setting
Posted: 2018-10-12 00:22
I'm seeing a lot of legitimate messages getting scored as spam by *hmailserver* for failing dkim. By "a lot" I'm guessing somewhere between 5%-10%, which seems high to me. Also, spamassassin passes some of them for dkim. Here's an example:
So you see that SA passes the message for dkim, while HMS rejects it. I believe the default HMS spam score for dkim fail is 5. I don't believe I ever changed it.
Because enough messages get caught up in this, I'm considering not allowing HMS to score for DKIM at all. However, it's caught plenty of real junk mail that way that SA missed or scored low. Before I get rid of HMS dkim checking, I figured I'd ask here to see if there are any opinions on the topic, since I'm sure I'm not the only one. Thanks in advance for your thoughts on the matter.
