Re: [eug-lug] I am getting SP***M - I apologize,...

I also get a large amount of spam that IS trapped by spamassassin. I 
don't believe that my spam assassin settings have anything to do with 
this, other than the fact that spamassassin is enabled on my account, 
and has been since the very beginning of the efn implementation. All 
other email I get at my efn address is marked by spamassassin one way or 
the other (spam or not spam). As I mentioned below, there are No 
spamassassin headers in the spam I am talking about.

I guess my complete question, away from any specific account is as follows.

Why would a spamassassin setup such as efn.org's completely miss 3-10 
spam emails a day, where miss is defined as not process at all.

I have been getting a fair amount of spam in my efn inbox that looks
like it is not being processed by the spam servers (no spamassassin
headers). How are these getting through, and how would I plug up that
hole? I'm considering spamassassin for my mail server and need to know
how to deal with the issues. Any spamassassin experts want to jump in
and give us a quick dissertation?
Thanks,

Hal,
If the spam you received had gone through the list, we all would have
     

gotten
 

it. I dont think that Ive seen that specific one, so I cant even say its
anyway associated with the list.
Ironicly, the email address I usually use on this list gets less spam
     

than
 

any other email address I use! I dont really see the list, or its
     

archives as
 

beeing an issue for spam.
My EFN account gets a ton of spam however. Ive had that account since
     

1995,
 

and the rocksolidnetworks address since 1999, so it just may be a matter
     

of
 

one address being used more than the other, and around for a longer
     

period of
 

time. I also only use the linux email address for mailing lists (both
     

here in
 

the DC area, and back home in eugene. The linux address is also not
     

included
 

in mailto: links on my webpage, but other address's that do get a lot of
     

spam
 

are..
At anyrate, your always welcome to express concerns... sorry we couldnt
     

nail
 

the source of your spam, but I havnt seen any effective way to do
     

anything
 

about it... filtering is about your only option.
