Now, perhaps I am misunderstanding, but BAYES_99 is hitting on 5% of ham? and AWL on 35% of spam?

Looking at this is looks to my, albeit untrained, eye as is something is quite wrong with my spam-tagging solution.

Now, to be fair, a large percentage of the incoming spam is being stopped by greylisting before SA ever sees it.

Am I worrying over nothing? I do seem to get spam only on those accounts for which greylisting is inactive, but on those I get a LOT that SA fails to tag, including just about every one of those image spams with the 2K or so of seemingly randomish text in the plain/text portion.

I am running RDJ with several rules and my SA version is SpamAssassin-3.1.7

TRUSTED_RULESETS="TRIPWIRE EVILNUMBERS RANDOMVAL
BOGUSVIRUS SARE_ADULT SARE_FRAUD SARE_BML SARE_SPOOF
SARE_BAYES_POISON_NXM SARE_OEM SARE_RANDOM SARE_HEADER_ABUSE
SARE_SPECIFIC SARE_CODING_HTML SARE_GENLSUBJ SARE_UNSUB SARE_URI0
SARE_REDIRECT_POST300 SARE_OBFU";

and RDJ is not reporting any errors
