I noticed the same starting some time ago (1-2 months as well). I think spammers have started using new techniques, including: - Long sequences of random dictionary words in their messages, which perhaps make it look more "normal" to filters. - Full paragraphs or sentences from "normal" text, arguably with the same purpose. What I did a couple of weeks ago was to finally read the man page for sa-learn and started training SA's Bayesian filter. Since then, it has gone back to catching almost all spam, even those using the above techniques. I had been manually putting spam in a separate folder, so I just trained sa-learn against that as spam, and my regular inbox as "ham". If you have not been training the SA Bayesian filter, give it a try - it seems to work very well. --Diego -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
