Bayes is doing a good job here recognizing scams. Since bayes_99 has never been wrong here I gave it the spam-level. For example in this mail bayes is the ONLY hit, where would I be without bayes ;-) X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=6.2 kill=6.2 tests=[BAYES_99=6.2] X-Spam-Score: 6.2 My Dear Beloveth, I

Interesting. I get all zeros using either the factory config as shown *or* the modified version. I'm using an amavisd/postfix config where I call spamassassin rather than spamd. It looks to me as if sa-stats.pl may assume spamd - is that the case, and if so is there an alternative version? - st
