Dear Sirs, 

 I appreciate your help. 

 I made some modifications and additions to the configuration of SA 

 1. Modify required_score from 3.5 to 5.0 

 2. Add RBL 

 3. Add SARE rules 

72_sare_redirect_post3.0.0.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_evilnum0.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_evilnum1.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_evilnum2.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_bayes_poison_nxm.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_html.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_header.cf.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_specific.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_adult.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
72_sare_bml_post25x.cf.sa-update.dostech.net
99_sare_fraud_post25x.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_spoof.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_random.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sc_top200.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_oem.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_genlsubj.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_genlsubj_x30.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_genlsubj_eng.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_genlsubj_arc.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_highrisk.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_unsub.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_whitelist.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_obfu.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net
70_sare_stocks.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net

 4. Add rules SOUGHT 

 4. Add zen.spamhaug.org in MTA 

 And these are the statistics from yesterday: 

Total messages:                Ham:       Spam:      % Spam:   
----------------------------------------------------------------------
10082                          5395       4687       46.49%

Average spam score            : 41.67/5.00
Average ham score             : -0.25/5.00

 Compared to the statistics before yesterday: 

Total messages:                Ham:       Spam:      % Spam:   
----------------------------------------------------------------------
11656                          5225       6431       55.17%

Average spam score            : 38.55/4.02
Average ham score             : -0.69/4.22

 The  amount of emails decreased  approximately by 1000 (I imagine it will be 
by RBL in MTA) 


But the percentage of spam also decreased, this concerns me because
some of the comments from the list indicated that this percentage is
much higher than HAM

As might improve my antispam system?

Thanks

Jose Luis
