How big are the messages that aren't getting scanned?

Over 250k?

Random sizes, most far smaller than 250k.

And do you have per user rules enabled? If so do any of the user
rules have a rawbody or full rule attribute?

I do; each user has a .spamassassin/user_prefs file. Most of them are exactly the same. I did notice that I had put a rawbody rule into my config file some time ago. I've taken it out just now, as it was never getting hit.

You could check your logfiles. By default spamd logs to the "mail" facility, so
they should be in your /var/log/maillog.

The emails that are not getting scanned do NOT show up in the logs. The ones that do get scanned, I can look for by message-id, but not these ones.

I just noticed that I get "spamd[797]: prefork: child states: IIII" quite often in the logs. This doesn't look bad to me, but I don't know what IIII is supposed to mean... Probably nothing.

If the above answers to my questions are "yes" search also for "PerMsgStatus".

You could well be onto something. I see lots (750+) of these in today's logs:

Feb 13 18:56:38 ocelot spamd[4200]: Use of uninitialized value in numeric le (<=) at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.4/Mail/SpamAssassin/PerMsgStatus.pm line 2703. Feb 13 18:56:38 ocelot spamd[4200]: Use of uninitialized value in sprintf at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.4/Mail/SpamAssassin/PerMsgStatus.pm line 2707. Feb 13 18:56:38 ocelot spamd[4200]: Use of uninitialized value in numeric eq (==) at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.4/Mail/SpamAssassin/PerMsgStatus.pm line 430.

Those certainly look like failures to me!

I've turned off the rawbody rule I had in my config file; what are the chances that that was the fix?

I should have noticed that no one else was whining about the amount of spam getting through, and if they were getting as much as me (hundreds a day, untagged) they surely would have!!

I can send my config file if anyone's interested in seeing it. Now, it's mostly just whitelist entries.

Thanks guys!!!
