Hello Olivier,

Strange that you should mention this today .. as I have exactly the same
problem. BUT, I found a better solution, which so far today has caught
18/18 spams received today! Spamassasin stopped working for me too
beginning of this year, when the majority of my spam was a combination
of random words. Seems from what I read somewhere that spamassasin has
big issues differentiating these mails from normal ones.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/bmf/

You have to "train" it too actually, and I was fully set up within 30
minutes, which included the installation, and reading the readme. If you
try it though, there is an error in the README's procmail entry though,
and it should read:

        ### begin sample two ###
        # Invoke bmf as a filter
        :0 fw
        | bmf -p

        # Filter spam
        :0:
        * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
        $MAILDIR/spam

That is with a * before "^X-Spam-Status: Yes"

So far, with only 1 day's testing though it's been 100% accurate which
is great. If you need more info, please just ask.

Greetings
Ralph
