Did you update to 2.42 recently?  There seems to be a design flaw in that
version that auto-whitelists spammers.

I had to clear my audo-whitelist.db this morning due to an excessive amount
of spam getting through with large negative AWL adjustments.

Subject: [SAtalk] Big increase in Spam getting through



Hi folks - Im new here. I've been running SA for about 6 months now and up
until about 2 weeks ago it was catching probably 98% of my spam. But in
the last few weeks I've noticed a steady increase in spam getting through.
I've gone from 10 a week to 10 a day.

Are spammers catching on to the filtering techniques SA uses and
deliberately changing their techniques to score less? Or is this just a
coinsidence? I've also noticed a lot of ISP's and email-hosts are now
actively advertising Spam-filtering features, which makes me think that
Spammers will have to modify their techniques if they want to stay in
"business". It reminds me of the "anonymous call blocking" feature I added
to my home phone. For a while, I didnt get any phone marketers calling me,
but now I get tons of them and all of them say "Out of Area" on the
caller ID screen. Gah!!

Just wondering what your experiences are.

Thanks in advance,

Jason
