Are you running the Debian version of SpamAssassin?  The Debian package
correctly disables the tests for "foreign" character sets as shipped by
default.

If you want to enable them yourself, you need to edit:

/etc/spamassassin/65_debian.cf

Remove the lines that assign a zero score to the "foreign" character set
tests, which look like:

# Don't discriminate against foreign users.
score CHARSET_FARAWAY 0
score CHARSET_FARAWAY_BODY 0
score CHARSET_FARAWAY_HEADERS 0
score SUBJ_FULL_OF_8BITS 0


That should give you what you want, which is the emails tagged as SPAM,
at the cost of assuming that anything that isn't from a western country
is SPAM.

This may or may not be a problem for you, personally, depending on what
mailing lists and the like you subscribe to.
