All this training, spam, ham, blah blah - I've got to ask, why we don't just find a tool which uses RBL's and be done with the whole thing?
In windows I use something called spampal which has a bunch of functionality but I use it basically as a turnkey method of accessing RBL's - virtually no spam gets through and I don't need to train anything. Spamassassin is meant to be able to use RBL's but its not at all obvious/or its borked on how to make it work effectively. Using RBL's does rely (obviously) upon having a internet connection whilst obtaining your new mail, so I can see some corner cases where it wouldn't work for people, but why not set up spam assassin by default to use RBL's and -also- use a trained filter if thats whats required to capture those corner cases?
