First Question: Why does SA prints out "autolean=no" when the /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf says:

# Enable Bayes auto-learning
auto_learn              1


the "autolearn=no" means it didn't auto-learn THIS message because it didn't score high or low enough to cross the autolearning thresholds.


After copy the mail to my linux box I started spamc:


Define what you mean by "copy the mail".. if you just copied the raw outlook binary file over to your linux mailserver... well, outlook added binary stuff to the message for it's own tracking and that may have caused different SA rules to fire.


You need to be aware that most mailclients modify messages as they store them for various purposes of internal houskeeping, these modifications make the message fundamentaly very different than the message that passed through your mailserver, so a different set of rules will match.

The partiuclar message you were testing against is a common virus email.. SA isn't designed to catch viruses, and has no rules to catch this one.. if you really want to catch them, search in the archives of this list for SWEN and you should find some people posting rules to catch the swen worm..

However, you'd probably be better off implementing a virus scanner to catch most of these things.
