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:

Here's a couple of headers:

    Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2016 20:25:45 +0530

    To: frede...@ofb.net
    Subject: Re: Healthy soul in healthy body. 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
