Yes, par example ZMI_GERMAN is available via RDJ. It for german SPAM only. There may be other rules as well, look in the source of RDJ. > BTW, we have other (older I guess) rules as well in our rules > directory, this is the current list: You should be careful using older rules, as this could be counterproductive and lead to lots of FP. > Can someone give me some hints on how to improve the spam deteection > rate ? Use greylisting in the MTA, that drops *a lot of* SPAM already there. I use postgrey for our postfix, it works perfect. And use RBL (realtime blackhole lists), they are extremely efficient also. But be careful which ones you use. We use sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org, safe.dnsbl.sorbs.net, dnsbl.njabl.org, bl.spamcop.net, relays.ordb.org. From 900k (k=kilo=1000) connects, 476k are dropped via RBL, 310k dropped because of others, only 8k SPAMs came until SpamAssassin and were marked as such. 112k messages were clean and did pass until the user. Remember that the 900.000 connects doesn't tell how many recipients there were in one connection, or how many mails were sent. It's just the plain number of connects, we don't count the single messages by now. mfg zmi -- // Michael Monnerie, Ing.BSc --- it-management Michael Monnerie // http://zmi.at Tel: 0660/4156531 Linux 2.6.11 // PGP Key: "lynx -source http://zmi.at/zmi2.asc | gpg --import" // Fingerprint: EB93 ED8A 1DCD BB6C F952 F7F4 3911 B933 7054 5879 // Keyserver: www.keyserver.net Key-ID: 0x70545879
