If you're sending yourself spam, it's hardly spam and you'll want to
stay clear of false positives! SA has a variety of ways to clasify what
spam is, a lot of this information comes from the headers, not just
sexual content in the body. You can find out what scores are triggered
by looking in /etc/spamassassin/ (if you're sitll on Gentoo). Remeber
that SA takes spam points off for email that is less likely to be spam
and awards some for typical spam formats. So you often find emails with
negative ratngs.

SA is adaptive. It learns what is spam and what is not spam. You can
tune this by passing a bunch of spam to SA, but it's best to pass a
bunch of ham first: man sa-learn.

If you're going to use SA, then do yourself a favour and install the
RulesDuJour bash script: emerge --search ruledujour. It will increase
your hits.
