It appears to be running OK, but only catches about 20% of my spam.
If you have old rules and as far as spam evolves, that situation is "fair"
I wonder if others have experienced this decline?
No.
I suspect that sa-learn is not performing properly. (I run sa-learn nightly on my spam, which is saved in ~/Maildir/.Spam/cur/ , through the default spamassassin installation.)
- how old is the Spam to feed sa-learn with? - what weight do you give to bayesean detection?
Eg I receive more or less identical spam many times without it being caught.
Also, about 35% of the spam that gets through is in foreign languates - Russian, Chinese, Arabic and Turkish -
Those are local langages for some...
One difficultly I have is that there seem many places where one can make changes in spamassassin settings. Am I right in thinking that all such changes can be made in .spamassassin/user_prefs ?
Seems OK
What should I put in this file to change the score for eg 3.5 BAYES_99 BODY: Bayes spam probability is 99 to 100%
Advices: - SA can be asked to report the scores in one header: make it reports and analyze the scoring - SA has a mailingg list you could also trigger in order to help
