Description
Fresh install, antispam tresholds are those:
Spam threshold = 6.2
Deny message spam threshold= 6.9
Spam treshold is too high, probably too false-negative with this, the best is 5 (refs: http://taint.org/2008/02/29/155648a.html)
Deny message spam threshold is too low, could be dangerous especially on newly installed systems. My proposal is set to 10 at least, maybe 12 is better.

History
#1 Updated by Alessio Fattorini over 7 years ago
- Subject changed from Default threshold for antispam are wrong to Wrong default thresholds for antispam
#2 Updated by Davide Principi over 7 years ago
On a production mail server we have
SpamTag2Level=5 SpamKillLevel=9
Maybe a lower default is good while Bayes filters are not effective. From Spamassassin wiki
The bayesian classifier can only score new messages if it already has 200 known spams and 200 known hams.
Any suggestion?
