Thanks Eric 'shubes'

Now most of the spam messages are getting blocking, along with that many false positives too, sometimes it is tiresome. Is there any good suggestions please?

What is your present configuration? Are you still running spamdyke? If so, what's in your spamdyke.conf file?

Have you implemented a whitelist with all of your vendors?

What do you consider to be false positives?

You might need to adjust the spamassassin thresholds to suite your environment. Look at the scores of the false positives. If they're slightly above the required_score in your local.cf file, you can adjust that setting appropriately.

Also, look to see which rules are contributing to your false positives. Some rules may be inappropriate in your environment, causing some emails to score too high.

Adjusting a server to handle spam well is something that takes some doing, but it isn't all that difficult. Once you have things set up for your environment, things will run smoothly with most spam being caught, and very few false positives.
