Dear Spamassassin, I've seen a recent increase in spam getting through Spamassassin... I've been getting groups of spam messages which have the same subject, often with zip attachments. Here's a screenshot from Mutt:

Order Celexa now. X-Spam-Status: No, score=3.3 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_50,BODY_URI_ONLY, HEADER_FROM_DIFFERENT_DOMAINS,HTML_MESSAGE,HTML_MIME_NO_HTML_TAG, MIME_HTML_ONLY,RDNS_NONE,T_SPF_HELO_TEMPERROR,T_SPF_TEMPERROR autolearn=no autolearn_force=no version=3.4.1 As you can see, I have trained the "Bayesian" filter but it isn't recognizing the messages as spam. I run Arch Linux and I use the following commands to do the training: sudo -u spamd sa-learn --showdots -D 1 --spam --dir ~/mail/folders/spam sudo -u spamd sa-learn --showdots -D 1 --ham --dir ~/mail/folders/inbox I use spamc and spamd to do the filtering. Any ideas? I don't have many legitimate emails with 'zip' attachments, but I'm intimidated by the thought of going into the Spamassassin config and tweaking the various parameters by hand. Thanks, Frederick
