Yea, I don't know how much of a difference that stuff (Pyzor, autolearn,
etc.) will make, but using it requires some additional software which I
don't have installed. I don't feel like putting anymore time into this
thing since I've spent too much time fiddling with it as it is. I also
don't want to use the additional resources (bandwidth, processing time,
etc.) to run the extra goodies. I don't know, if it makes a big difference
in reducing false negatives, then it may be worth it.

Subject: Re: [RLUG] SpamAssassin Works Too Well
Here's a pretty nifty procmail recipe I use for sorting incoming
SpamAssassin tagged email:
# Check the spamishness and route accordingly
:0
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=\/[^\.]*
{
:0
* ? test $MATCH -ge 8
/dev/null
:0 E:
* ? test $MATCH -ge 6
_Spam_Level_2
:0 E:
_Spam_Level_1
}
That way anything over 8 goes to the bit bucket, between 6 & 8 goes to
my Spam_Level_2 mailbox and 5-6 goes in Spam_Level_1. I've had a couple
of false positives in Spam_Level_1 in the past, but nothing in
Spam_Level_2 yet. I've also been tuning my scores for various tests that
I see commonly making it through the filter.
Looking at yesterday's procmail log it tagged 252 messages as spam, 15
went to Spam_Level_1 and 17 to Spam_Level_2. As I recall about 5 got
through to my mailbox.
I love Spam Assassin...
