Spamassassin KAM module - Adjust score

[MartinH]

Hi,
I try to adjust score for KAM module in custom.cf (/etc/mail/spamassassin/custom.cf), but it does not work.

Example:
cat /etc/mail/spamassassin/custom.cf

# Sending domain does not have any anti-forgery methods
# Default 1
score KAM_LAZY_DOMAIN_SECURITY 0.6

If I change the score direct in KAM.cf file, then it is working

Is it a bug in PMG?

the issue here is most likely:
* /etc/mail/spamassassin/custom.cf gets read and included before /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
* /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf is the file that includes KAM.cf (and thus the original definition of the score of that rule)

You could use the following to work around the issue :
* copy and adapt the template for local.cf: /var/lib/pmg/templates/local.cf.in (see the reference documenation: https://pmg.proxmox.com/pmg-docs/pmg-admin-guide.html#_service_configuration_templates)
* enter your modified score there (after the loading of KAM.cf)
* restart pmg-smtp-filter

The downside is that you need to keep track of potential changes from the packaged version shipped in /var/lib/pmg/templates/local.cf.in

I hope this helps!
