: SpamAssassin penalising DK Signed I am checking an email for spam via isnotspam.com, in the results I'm receiving the following messages: ---------------------------------------------------------- DomainKeys

I am checking an email for spam via isnotspam.com, in the results I'm receiving the following messages:

----------------------------------------------------------
DomainKeys check details:
----------------------------------------------------------

Result: neutral (message not signed)
ID(s) verified: header.From=production@studionec.com
Selector=
domain=
DomainKeys DNS Record=

----------------------------------------------------------
DKIM check details:
----------------------------------------------------------

Result: pass
ID(s) verified: header.From=production@studionec.com
Selector=mandrill
domain=mail2.wdc04.mandrillapp.com
DomainKeys DNS Record=mandrill._domainkey.mail2.wdc04.mandrillapp.com


In the SpamAssassin results it shows the following:

* 3.5 BAYES_99 BODY: Bayes spam probability is 99 to 100%
* [score: 1.0000]
* -0.0 RCVD_IN_DNSWL_NONE RBL: Sender listed at www.dnswl.org/, no
* trust
* [205.201.139.2 listed in list.dnswl.org]
* -0.0 SPF_HELO_PASS SPF: HELO matches SPF record
* -0.0 T_RP_MATCHES_RCVD Envelope sender domain matches handover relay
* domain
* -0.0 SPF_PASS SPF: sender matches SPF record
* 1.0 DK_SIGNED DK_SIGNED
* 0.2 BAYES_999 BODY: Bayes spam probability is 99.9 to 100%

DK_SIGNED is presumably DomainKeys or DKIM, and it's giving a + 1.0 to the spam score, why is this happening and is there a way of stopping it?

I looked up DomainKeys and found the following listed in Wikipedia so is this a bug or poor configuration on my end?


Both DomainKeys and DKIM were published in May 2007. DomainKeys was issued as a "historical" protocol and DKIM was issued as its standards-track replacement.

The DK_SIGNED rule comes from the DomainKeys plugin. It should have a corresponding DK_VERIFIED rule to check that the DomainKeys signature is valid, which would negate the score (if DK_VERIFIED == true) for a neutral result. The absence of the verification check indicates a configuration issue in SpamAssassin.

Note that the DomainKeys plugin is deprecated; its author states:


THIS MODULE IS OFFICIALLY UNSUPPORTED.

Please move on to DKIM like a responsible Internet user. I have.

I will leave this module here on CPAN for a while, just in case
someone has grown to depend on it. It is apparent that DK will not
be the way of the future. Thus, it is time to put this module to
ground before it causes any further harm.


The rules already include DKIM_SIGNED and DKIM_VALID, which are operating properly by adding to and then subtracting from the spam score, so it appears that the website's SA setup is incorrect.
