There's lots that you can do to improve spamassassin's performance. Most
notably, make sure the perl's Net::DNS module is installed, so that it
can do RBL tests, and consider increasing the score of some of those
RBLs. Although you may not trust all of them enough to use them to
outright "BLOCK" messages, they can be a good source of data for
spamassassin.

Consider adding pyzor to your system, so that spamassassin can benefit
from its content checks.

Also make sure that you use the sa-update script to refresh your test
definitions periodically.

Spamassassin isn't the best spam filtering software that I've ever used,
but configured properly it can be very good.

Yeah, that should be possible. I'll try to patch something up for you to
test in the next day or two. I've been very busy, having recently taken
up a new job.
