I had TexCat set up to detect non-English emails as spam: https://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.4.x/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Plugin_TextCat.html But I apparently didn't have the score turned up high enough. The default score for its UNWANTED_LANGUAGE_BODY is 2.800.
I just added this to my /etc/spamassassin/local.cf: score UNWANTED_LANGUAGE_BODY 5 Which I expect to be helpful. Since 129 of the 193 spams spamassassin has missed this month hit that rule (and none of my non-spams have). 67%. 39% of them contained the Polish word for "district". To enable TextCat to flag everything that's not English, in local.pre I have: loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::TextCat And in local.cf I have: ok_languages en This post was originally going to be asking if anybody wanted to collaborate on some non-English spam rules. I guess I'll re-consider that after October.
