That's not a version. I've seen that refer to a years old release...
You say there's a very long list of practices and that the list is way
too long - well where is this list? why is it so hard to configure?
That list would be in my (well, our collectives ;) head. There's not a
single way how to integrate SA, how to run SA, and there's no single
demand. So there's no single "do this to be happy".
More seriously, what I really said is, that failing to follow best
practices hardly is the reason for 80% of your spam in-stream slipping
through. Your problem is something else.
Frankly, a vanilla SA install will perform better.
IMHO even a vanilla SA, no best-practices tweaking whatsoever, with 80%
spam caught indicates a severely broken setup. Let alone all of a sudden
going down to 20%, with 80% FNs. See why I told you that's not your
problem?
