I've only had spamassassin installed and operating for about 2 days. I don't normally get a lot of spam, but it only seems to be stopping about half of all the spams that hit my mailbox.
My ~/.procmailrc file is pretty much the sample that comes with the docs. I am doing sa-learn on all the spams that get through. Is there anything else that I can do?
# SpamAssassin sample procmailrc # # Pipe the mail through spamassassin (replace 'spamassassin' with 'spamc' # if you use the spamc/spamd combination) # # The condition line ensures that only messages smaller than 250 kB # (250 * 1024 = 256000 bytes) are processed by SpamAssassin. Most spam # isn't bigger than a few k and working with big messages can bring # SpamAssassin to its knees. # # The lock file ensures that only 1 spamassassin invocation happens # at 1 time, to keep the load down. # :0fw: spamassassin.lock * < 256000 | spamassassin # Mails with a score of 15 or higher are almost certainly spam (with 0.05% # false positives according to rules/STATISTICS.txt).
