 +To fine-tune the setup, there are some things to be taken into account:
 +  * spam scores: In /etc/amavis/50-user, we define numerical spam score levels. The sa_tag2_level_deflt variable lets the spam filter decide if a mail is to be considered SPAMMY. This variable is set to 4.51 on our server at the time of writing, which may have to be adjusted after a test period.
 +  * spam from the inboxes polled by fetchmail will be silently deleted when the score of sa_kill_level_deflt (now 20) is reached. You might want to review the logs for some time to look for false-positives being discarded.
 +  * on the server, the rewriting of the subject lines of messages considered spam has been disabled. This makes it easier to deal with false positives. Just move them out of the spam folder.
 +  * learning: do not delete true spam messages. After collecting lots of them, they should be used to train the spam filter.
 +  * Ports: now, all clients submitting messages on port 465 (smtps) are considered local. Check if this is a valid assumption. If not, modify the system to accept these submissions on port 587 (submission). See below.
