Hi guys, I'm running stock standard spamassassin with SUSE 9.0 Pro. It does not seem to be using bayes at all, even though I have specified in both my systemwide config and my user config. Summary in the tagged spam says: ---- Start SpamAssassin results 4.80 points, 4 required; * 0.1 -- BODY: HTML included in message * 0.5 -- BODY: Message is 80% to 90% HTML * 0.7 -- URI: Uses a username in a URL * 1.5 -- URI: URL contains username and (optional) password * 1.9 -- Date: is 12 to 24 hours after Received: date * 0.1 -- Message only has text/html MIME parts ---- End of SpamAssassin results My /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf: rewrite_subject 0 use_terse_report 1 use_bayes 1 auto_learn 0 I disabled auto_learn after reading of a lot of people having trouble with spamassassin becoming less accurate for some reason that's related to auto_learn - I'm still trying to find time to read all the why. I prefer to teach my spamassassin by hand too. ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs: required_hits 4 whitelist_from *@slashdot.org *@mweb.com *@mweb.co.za *@sterkinekor.co.za detailed_phrase_score 1 defang_mime 0 dns_available yes use_bayes 1 auto_learn 0 Both are exactly as they came with spamassassin, I just added my whitelists, bayes and auto_learn. This has worked fabulously with all versions of SUSE before, I'm not sure what's up now. Am I missing something important? Second problem is that a lot more spam slips through lately (absence of bayes might contribute) - I see a lot of spam that scores less than 1... Is this just a case of the spammers getting smarter? Thanks Hans
