Someone is using our email address to originate spam. We are getting bombed
with "Mail undeliverable" etc. messages from failed spam delivery attempts.

Hello all:
I'm trying to build Spamassassin 3.2.2 under AIX 5.3 with the AIX compilers. I
get the following errors while compiling spamc.
"spamc/libspamc.c", line 1050.14: 1506-275 (S) Unexpected text strm encountered.
"spamc/libspamc.c", line 1050.5: 1506-045 (S) Undeclared identifier z_stream.
Well... I'm convinced. I turned off autolearn a week ago, and things have
never been smoother. Its a shame really, that's a nice feature, but for some
reason it waters down the Bayes resolution until its almost useless.

I thought I'd mention that since I wiped and rebuilt my Bayes files my
success rate has jumped from 93% to 99+%. Considering the amount of spam
pouring into here, that's not bad at all.

From a start of under two percent up to over ten percent. It was getting pretty
bad, so I finally, just on a hunch, I wiped my Bayes files and rebuilt them.
And, voila!, I'm now running under one percent.

Well its back. I thought my bayes files had finally caught up to it, or
maybe one of the sa-update downloads did the trick, but now it returns like bad
meatloaf.
It astounds me how this slips under the Bayes radar.

I've been getting a bunch of spam hawking mortgage rates. You may have seen
it, it starts with "Dear Homeowner." Tthe only test that flags this
message is "BAYES_50", for all practical purposes a score of 0.
What concerns me the most is that this triggers "autolearn=ham". I later

I guess I could do that, but these things usually only last a few days
anyway. Always have to trade off against the risk of a non-spam message
coming through. I was really surprised that the Bayes came up zero.

I'm getting dozens of messages touting a stock called TTEN. The odd thing about
the messages is that its getting assigned a Bayes score of zero.
Are there any rules out there for this?
Thanks

I've been looking at the spams that slip through, and I notice that they have
no Bayes score. Not a low score, but no score. I suspect that is tied to this
