What about a blacklist? Or am I forgetting that there already is one?
The From addresses are usually faked, but I'm sure I see some names that
repeat, such as "Jack Strap" for porn spam and "Denise Smith, MBA" for a
whole bunch of money/insurance spam.
It would be nice to be able to drop address

It doesn't actually invoke PGP or GPG to check anything, it's just seeing if you are claiming to have signed a message.

With spamd at least, you need to specify an option to turn it on. It's off by default (or should be).

How about a test for high-bit characters in the body of text/plain

Might not be useful, considering this was forwarded ... I haven't compared
this idea against my mailboxes yet.

No it didn't. I'll bet that your procmail (or whatever) filter is set up
to catch things with "SPAM" in the Subject line.

I'm not sure what the SA syntax would be, but I'm using procmail to
catch them with:

Hi.
I've recently installed spamassassin and razor (debian testing
system).
It worked well for some days, but suddenly, razor seems to be broken :
when trying to report a mail as spam with a pipe to "spamassassin -r
-D", I get :

Hi!
I'm hoping this is just a stupid pilot error mistake on my part, but
whenever I do "make test" on my SpamAssassin install, it fails with a
huge list of errors, all relating to "Failed to run MISSING_HEADERS SpamAssassin
test".
I've put the entire error message on a web server, since it's fai
I am using Postfix and now trying to set up SA via spamd. I seem to be creating
mail-loops with the spamc pipe to sendmail in the spamfilter file called from
Postfix master.cf. It seems that mails that spanc scans are being output via
sendmail into a queue that will be scanned by spamc again etc.
Explain this :)
this came as spam from spamassassin :P

One concern that comes to mind is the recent practice of taking email
addresses of popular posters to mailing lists and using them as the return
address for spam.

Can you tell us how the auto-whitelist algorithm works? Surely it should be
an average system, so that 3 spams over time don't have much effect on the
