Very unclear problem description. First of al if you mark spam the 
sender knows it is being received (and does not even know the message 
has been marked). Thus the best way to treat spam, is rejecting it. 

So without any other info. Start rejecting messages instead of accepting 
them.

Start posting those (relevant) message headers ;)

Subject: The most efficient SPAM implementation ever

Hello all:

I have been a very satisfied user of spamassassin for a long time. Now I 
am facing a challenge, a problem that I cannot resolve.

Years ago I was an active participant in the SolidWorks forum:

https://forum.solidworks.com

Unfortunately, there is a group there who when don't approve of a thread 
their response is to send you a barrage of e-mails, some sort of DOS 
attack. I have received thousands of those, during several years.

I dutifully have those messages processed by sa-learn, but it is clear 
that they are immune to spamassassin. Instead of going up, their score 
goes down.

I tried another approach (suggested by some of you folks): block the 
sender by sendmail, as seen below. Such defensive strategy was helpful 
for a couple years but now the spam has come back with a vengeance. 
Currently, my last line of defense is the only one that recognizes that 
stealth spam: the Thunderbird mail client.


Please help.


TIA,

-Ramon F. Herrera


ps: I do not have samples right now but will collect some and post them.
