I have upgraded spamassassin on three mail (2.63 -> 3.02 on two and
2.64 -> 3.02 on the other) servers about two weeks ago.
On the old system I have disabled AWL and Auto-learn because they
corrupted my bayesian database on at least one occasion.
I have decided to try out AWL with 3.02.
At first I did not use any extra rules but installed the following
after a week:
70_sare_bayes_poison_nxm.cf
70_sare_html2.cf
99_sare_fraud_post25x.cf
70_sare_html0.cf
70_sare_html3.cf
evilnumbers.cf
70_sare_html1.cf
70_sare_html_eng.cf
I have experienced less false positives with the new one. Complaints
came down from about 6 per week to maybe 1 in the last two weeks.
But the feedback from users about spam received increased and the
following statistics shows that something is not working as
effectively as it was previously:
Average spam blocked per minute for the last
Day Week Month Year (Since April-June last year)
mail1 5.94 6.21 7.67 8.20
mail2 5.04 5.95 6.48 6.69
mail3 4.95 4.67* 6.23 6.85
* mail3 was down for a few hours during the week.
The three servers started out with the same bayesian database and are
trained with the same spam/ham on a nearly daily basis.
I am suspecting AWL to be the culprit but I am not sure how to
determine it other than switching it of for a period.
Any commentary?
Regards
Johann
