OK, this really irritates me.  I have the latest spamassassin.  It is running 
in daemon mode.  I have procmail setup to /dev/null anything that is 
identified as spam.  I have trained the Bayesian filter (supposedly) to 
identify certain messages as spam...BUT THEY KEEP GETTING THROUGH!

These are tricky html or other type of spam, they are plain text.  Generally 
they are viagra messages.  The one that really galls me is one that uses the 
name "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" or "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" instead of the actual proper spelling. 
 
Nonetheless, this shouldn't matter...or so one would think.  

I have now run "sa-learn --spam --dir Mail/Spam/cur" twice on this message.  
It comes back saying it "learned" from the message.  About 10 minutes later 
that damn message is back and spamassassin let it come right through.  

What the hell?  I REALLY want to nuke the computer from which this comes.  I 
was doing so well there with nary a spam for weeks getting through, then 
something inane and seemingly simple like this gets through inspite of 
"teaching" spamassassin to recognize it as crap.

Since spamassassin appears to be falling down on the job, what would be a nice 
generic procmail recipe that would recognize EITHER iteration of viagra 
spelling (in the body or subject) and pass it, no pass go, to /dev/null?  I 
never ever ever want to see another damn viagra message of any kind ever 
again.  

Thank you for any aid in this endeavor.
