Be sure you are not passing SPF fails, or HELO forgeries on to your users. These are almost certainly spam. Also, I block on RBL fails if I get 3 responses from 17 checks, see RBL list at bottom. This is most definately alowing some email to pass that is questionable, but I have found that if an email is on three lists it is spam. > This is why I'd like to fully understand the setting so I can limit the > spams that they are > getting. I have been running ASSP for years now and I have never seen Baysean to be foolproof, even less these days with the non-sense valid looking text in the spam. But, it is very good most of the time. I use Imail's ability to send to a sub mailbox for my users if the incoming email has an ASSP spam header. I use the header "X-A s s p-S p a m-Reason:"(spaces added) and use Imail's global rules to move it to the "spam" mbx for each user. You can then use an Imail tool to delete emails older than x number of days from those mailboxes on a nightly basis to keep the volume of kept spam low. Then the users don't see any spam unless an email goes missing and they have a week or a month or whatever to retrieve it from their spam box using Imail's webmail interface.
