I got completely frustrated chasing the stupid worm of the week thru
what had essentially become a series of fast hacks, and I decided to
rework my mail system from scratch.

Sendmail out, postfix in
mimedefang out, amavisd-new in
spamassassin, f-prot, and clam stayed the same.

Unless the makeup of the worm spam changed radically during the course
of today (Tuesday), the new configuration is passing FAR fewer false
negatives.  I don't keep the old spam and virii messages, so I can't
quantify it, but my config settings are basically the same as they
were, and my FNs are down from around 3 per hour to around .5 per
hour.

Bayes still isn't working - not enough ham and spam fed, this is just
the standard (mostly, a few custom mods) rule set.

YAHOO!  (no, not the search engine)
