It's probably the init.pre file, that needs editing. Definitely not all plugins
run by default.
You also have to set up several databases (bayes / DCC) and other plugins need
specific configuration and even installation / compilation of separate tools
(pyzor / razor / DCC).
I have enabled, configured and installed all of the plugins. To run them
comment out the respective LoadPlugin lines.
Most configuration options for the plugins are set in the local.cf files.
Anyway, it took me (an advanced unix admin) more than just a couple of hours to
configure everything. But I now have 99.5+% of all spam blocked with not one
false positive in the last few months. My domain gets about 90% spam, and only
10% legit mail. So bayes is an absolutely invaluable tool for me, it catches
almost every spam message going through my server, with deadly accuracy.

I am a semi novice at SA, but learning everyday and things are getting tighter. In your list you mentioned BAYES_99 as a test you are running. I was under the impressions that all SA Tests automatically run. Do I need to invoke this in /etc/spamassassin/local.cf? Or is it already running? Do I need to increase the score for it?
I am running SA 3.1.7 with the latest sa-updates.
