spamassassin and amavisd effectiviness

[iztech]

hello
i have installed sa and amavisd + clam as instructed in the article. everything seems to be running well. certain spam gets filtered and virus are getting stopped very well. today i fed sa with spam and ham so it would learn.

the results are dissapointing. after feeding 800+ spams i am getting the same spams coming in.

am i doing something wrong.

here are the headers from a recent email from suntrust. any pointers would be helpful.

[QUOTE]I’d next take a look at some of the 3rd party rulesets for SA. Here’s a quick and dirty take: http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/18070/index.html%5B/QUOTE%5D

this is sweet just what i needed. i will also do an update to sa 3 to check the surbl setup.

[QUOTE]With the afp548 setup, you’d put them in /var/amavis/etc/mail/spamassasin[/QUOTE]

although i followed your article mine is in /var/mail/spamassassin

i will take notes and post any thing i learn here.
