Hi list
At this point I'm more looking for opinions than actual help...
I have the server set up with system-wide spamassassination. Lately SA misses spam more frequently, and I need to train it.
Not sure training is really the answer. The spam'rs are getting more clever and they aren't putting much in the emails that you can train on.
True... :(
For example, one good trick of theirs is to put only an image in their emails... It has all the text and pics they want but it's only one image.
SA will catch this as HTML_IMAGE_ONLY but it doesn't give a very high score for it. (maybe 1.5)
You may want to go look at some of the spam you're getting, determine what they are using (like the above) and adjust the scores accordingly. Same goes for the scores where bayes says it is 99% probable spam. Jack up the score on that.
Most of what I get is more or less entirely html, so that's a place to start...
I'd be glad to send you my local.cf with a lot of mods to it.
Please do. I always like seeing real-life examples. Thx, Jon -- Whatever rocks your boat!
