When I run sa-stats I get a bunch of lines of this:
Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected non-continuation byte 0x78,
immediately after start byte 0xf3) at
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/Date/Manip.pm line 6488.
And then all zero's for the report.

I think the "standard" practice is to run seperate MTA's for inbound and
outbound. We run dual instances of Postfix here, as an example. The
inbound instance is filtered and the outbound is not. There are many
how-to's for doing this for various MTA's. The one I used for Postfix is at

I can tell ya were SA would be wonderful... is on cell phones. The amount
of spam pouring into our corporate cell phones makes the email/text
messaging virtually unusable. And I get complaints about it all the time
because the message indicators are always one and it takes forever to weed
through
In the last 6 months or so, our spam volume has tripled as I am sure it has
for many of you. For the month of November, we topped out at over 110,000
spam emails into the company (yea for us?). 80,000+ were outright
/dev/null'd for the obvious potty language, appendage enhancement, etc, etc.
and
SA: 10 Spammers: 7
That was the score this morning for my email. There seems to be a lot more
of this going on. Is there anything I can do to plug these holes? We are
running Postfix + SA 2.6 site-wide as a relay, so we are not running Bayes.
I have never had this much trouble with SA before,
You will need to adjust the search string to match your mail logs.
my $t = grep /connect from/, @wholefile;# total
my $s = grep /identified spam/, @wholefile; # spam
my $d = grep /reject:/, @wholefile; #
ruleset
Quite Frankly, with 2.6, the popcorn, backhair, and weeds rules, and a few
other custom rules, I have had no need to run Bayes on our site-wide SA
implementation. We are having huge success right now. In the past week SA
has missed maybe 10 or so spam which is over 96% accuracy and with no FP's

I have SA running as
a Filter/Relay on a RH 7.3 box. It is a Celeron 1.4Ghz. It
processes mail for about 250 users. It has a single 7200RPM IDE
drive and 768MB of PC100 RAM. I process around 4000 messages a day (Most
of it spam)

Okay .. silly question then...
Do you just copy the evilrules.cf to /etc/mail/spamassassin and restart SA
and then SA will just process whatever .cf files are in the folder? Or do I
cat that to the local.cf file?

I'd say that if you are very new to linux but are really good with PC's and
OS's, the initial setup time is pretty close. If you are already familiar
with Linux, then the setup time would be much lower. I installed the Linux
OS from scratch, installed and configured Postfix with SpamAssassin, and
Okay .. I found tools, no problem...
But .. since SA runs as a non-privledged user with no logon on a site-wide
install, how do you run the tools to see what that db has in it? SA wants
to see the db under /root/.spamassassin. SA runs as the user "filter" which
has no logon.

Well the first impact of leaving it the way you have it show is that you
just added over 20 charachters to the front of any subject line which will
make some mail clients truncate the displayed "real" subject. I show the
score in my subject lines, but I use the subject_tag modifier in the
local.cf
This discussion could go on infinitum, but the bottom line is that there are
plenty of "real" and significant companies that pre-maturely release
"un-baked" products, do not release patches in the timely manner, and
abandon products that large portions of their user base were perfectly happy

Here is the proverbial "Me too" email! SA has made a huge impact here. In
the first full month of operation, SA tagged over 31,000 emails into our
company. If you figure it takes an average user 10 seconds to open an
unidentified spam message, figure out it is spam, and throw it away, SA

Is there way to bias the "native" language scores in SA? I have notice that
a significant portion of the spam that is sneeking past SA is non-english.
The bulk of it looks like it is either spanish or portuguese.

Well.. the whole thing is really a moot point. Nobody is pointing a gun at
anybody and making them use SA. Nobody is forcing SA implementers to use
black-lists.

Pretty straight forward actually.
The blue line is your total inbound mail. The green is how much spam, and
the orange ( I think it is orange. I'm color blind.) is percent of your
mail that is spam. The reason it drops to 0 is that your maillogs rotate
every sunday at 4AM. If you look in /var/

How do I get SA to alter the headers, but not the body of the email?
If I set report_header 1 it removes the score from both the headers and the
body. I would like the score to be left in the headers, but removed from
the body of the email.

Thomas,

Frankly, anything (and I don't care how crude, inefficient, CPU hog,
