One thing I've noticed about almost ALL spam that gets through at this
point is that they have a LOT of misspelled (and obfuscated) words.
Could SpamAssassin benefit from a filter that would actually check the
spelling of the text parts of the message, and if misspelled words
exceeds, for e

Hi Everyone!
I know that Bayes is "the" defacto best way to fight SPAM right now, but
I wonder if anyone out there is running SA without Bayes turned on and
what their experience with it is?
I run SA with Bayes enabled right now site-wide for more than 500 e-mail
accounts, and my problem is that
I'm sticking with 2.6 for now too, because I can't just upgrade to Perl
5.8 because FreeBSD 4.10 doesn't have Perl 5.8 in the base system, and
my system is too fragile to just upgrade Perl without days worth of
headaches. :\

On Mon, 3 Jan 2005, Gustafson
Thanks for all the help everyone. I guess the real question for me is
"how do I make spamass-milter block e-mails of a certain score", because
that's how I integrate SpamAssassin into Sendmail.
Thanks again!

How do you keep your ntokens so low?
Mine averages ((nspam + nham) * 10). Yours is basically (nspam + nham).
Do you run some job that expires tokens or something? I'm running
sa-learn --force-expire once a day (and it takes about 2-3 minutes to
run) but the ntokens never seems to go down. :\

For what it's worth, here's my output:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] sa-learn --dump magic
0.000 0 2 0 non-token data: bayes db version
0.000 0
Autolearn fails a lot of the time because your sendmail and/or
SpamAssassin process doesn't have write access to the bayes_* files.
Make sure that you chown and chmod these files accordingly. :)
I had a big problem with this originally, and file permissions fixed it
for me.
