Hello,

I now given SA 725 spam and 1433 ham to learn from (I have lots of spam 
now waiting to be fed, but I'm waiting to accumulate more ham).

In any event, SA doesn't seem to be filtering spam at all.  I only get 
about 1 or 2 spams a day, so it's hard to say anything certain, but not a 
single one of those (in the last 3 days) has been picked up by SA.

Before I began tweaking .../user_prefs, SA was good at picking up spam, so 
I'm thinking that maybe I did something wrong.  I'm attaching my 
user_prefs file (I know that it's usually bad form to send attachments, 
but I figure that a 3k attchments will be forgiven).  I removed the 
whitelist* and blacklist* lines since those would have doubled the size of 
the file.

I ran "spamassassin -D < sample_spam".  Here are the highlights:

SA> debug: bayes: score = 0.788951343703472

Does anyone know what the score means?  Is that a 78.8% probability of 
being spam?  Or is that score analogous to the other scores that are found 
in .../user_prefs ?

SA> debug: Razor2 is not available
SA> debug: Loading languages file...
SA> debug: Language possibly: ja.iso-2022-jp

That is correct.  The spam was in Japanese.  I don't know Japanese, hence 
I consider it SPAM.  My .../user_prefs contais this text:

  required_hits   3.2
  ...
  #
  # Non-european langauge.
  #
  score HEADER_8BITS              50
  score HTML_COMMENT_8BITS        50
  score SUBJ_FULL_OF_8BITS        50      # 4.400
  ok_languages    en es


Shouldn't this have killed any email in Japanese?

SA> debug: is spam? score=6.9 required=3.2  \
SA> tests=BAYES_70,FROM_ENDS_IN_NUMS,UNDESIRED_LANGUAGE_BODY

Well, the score is higher than the required.  Shouldn't this have been 
flagged as spam?  How come it made it to my inbox?

Any help would be much appreciated.
