WiFi Sense Not Very Sensible - Preferring Public Hotspots over Preferred Networks

Question

When I am out and about WiFi Sense is really good as it automatically connects to public hotspots and I only need to open a browser and press ok, etc.
However when at home I have BT and have set up my own WPA network connection but the router also has BT WiFi on it and even though I am connected to my home WPA connection and it is a "preferred network" and set to be connected to automatically
why does the phone keep disconnecting at regular intevals reverting back to the BT WiFi connection?
When the phone switches to BT WiFi the internet is blocked until you sign into a web portal so as a result the phone uses up all my data connection as it reverts to 3G/4G and also the push email stops working.
So is there no way that WiFi Sense could be more "sensible" and connect to my preferred network in preference to the public hotspot then only connect to the public hotspot if no preferred networks are available?
I have friends who have Windows Phones and BT internet and have the same issue as well.
Thanks

Answer 1

You are welcome. I'm glad you got it back up.
(1) You say you did the symbolic link. I will assume this is set correctly; it's very important that it is.
(2) I don't know what you mean by "Been feeding the [email protected] for several weeks now, 700 emails each day at least." After the initial training period, SpamAssassin doesn't learn from mail it has already processed correctly. At this point, you only need to teach SpamAssassin when it is wrong. [email protected] should only be getting spam that is being passed as clean. Likewise, [email protected] should only be getting legitimate mail that is being flagged as junk. You are redirecting mail to both [email protected] and [email protected] ... right? SpamAssassin needs both.
(3) Next, as I said before, you need to implement those "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server." Once you have that done and issue "postfix reload" you can look at your SMTP log in Server Admin and watch as Postfix blocks one piece of junk mail after another. It's kind of cool.
(4) Add some SARE rules:
Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm and download the following rules:
70sareadult.cf
70saregenlsubj0.cf
70sareheader0.cf
70sarehtml0.cf
70sareobfu0.cf
70sareoem.cf
70sarespoof.cf
70sarestocks.cf
70sareunsub.cf
72sare_redirectpost
Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/other-rules.htm and download the following rules:
backhair.cf
bogus-virus-warnings.cf
chickenpox.cf
weeds.cf
Copy these rules to /etc/mail/spamassassin/
Then stop and restart mail services.
There are other things you can do, and you'll find differing opinions about such things. In general, I think implementing the "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server" and adding the SARE rules will help a lot. Good luck!
