Dear All,

We are an international institute with employees from around the world. 
Therefore we send and receive regular e-mails in almost all languages. 
Our setup: sendmail, mimedefang and SA version 3.3.2

Generally our spam detection rate is quite OK ( I would say). But one of our 
user is complaining that "all" his e-mails in Russian get marked as spam. I 
would say "some few" are marked. 
Looking for one of his spam marked e-mails I see the following: 

pts rule name              description
---- ---------------------- --------------------------------------------------
 3.2 CHARSET_FARAWAY_HEADER A foreign language charset used in headers
 3.2 CHARSET_FARAWAY        BODY: Character set indicates a foreign language
 2.5 MIME_CHARSET_FARAWAY   MIME character set indicates foreign language

Beside several other entries with positive and negative points.
This e-mail was written in Cyrillic with an Cyrillic subject. 

Looking into my configuration I didn't set "ok_languages" and I didn't take 
"ok_locales".
So I assume it will take the defaults from "10_default_prefs.cf" with a value 
of "all".

So my question how is it possible that the character set is detected to be "far 
away" ? 

Kind regards 
Hans
