Rich, I am also running 3.2.5, and saw 95% of my messages, because
they were whitelisted sources.  However, I missed about two dozen
from unexpected but valid senders over the past 9 days (conference
chairs, a long-lost friend, etc).  

Check the  /usr/share/spamassassin/72_active.cf  file as suggested,
please.  The matching pattern is obviously wrong, even to a REGEXP
newbie like me.  The original pattern is supposed to match to all
dates between 2000 and 2099.   In fact, it matches only to 2000
to 2009.  Somebody's brain has got a Y10 (as opposed to Y2K) bug.
The repaired pattern will fail again in the year 2100, but by
then I expect we will have different ways of dealing with spam,
hopefully involving battery acid or Turkish prisons. :-)

Also, check your spam bucket;  I do so every two weeks or so, and
usually end up making a tweak or two on my whitelist.

Keith
