It is probably not the reason for you problem now, but it is important to note that in the “several years” since your spam filter was trained, spammers have not stayed idle, they have learned, they have refined their mail to bypass the most common protections. And in turn, protections have evolved to fight the new stealthiness of spammers. Spammers also have changed topics, they used to sell pills, now they sell cryptocurrencies. If your Bayesian filter is trained to recognize mails that sell pills, they might accept mails that seem to talk about technical points of computing. So if your own mail filter has not evolved, it is not surprising that it becomes progressively less efficient. > Am Mittwoch, 6.

You keep saying that. Your mail provider seems to have changed something. Your spamassassin is seeing those new headers (which, by all comments in this thread are being added on the way from the mailing list to you) and acts accordingly. So nothing weird. Except, perhaps, your mail provider. There are few of them which are not weird these days. Cheers -- t signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: *****SPAM***** Re: Spam from the list?
Hi Brad, I am using this spamfilter now for several years. It should be well trained and almost until about 4 months I never had any problems with it. But until then suddenly the false positives increased from one day to another, although I had changed nothing. And weired: It happened only with mails from the debian forum! This looks weired for me. Other spammails are still well recognized and I get no false positives from any other site. Maybe this is by chance. But mails, which are recognized as spam are looking not fishy in any kind. Even a mail sent by myself to the forum was seen as spam. Of course there is the option, that my own spamfilter has changed, although I did nothing manually, it could not be excluded. I do not believe, it is is a training model, but of course, i will mark white mails as ham manually and see, if the false positives decrease. Will inform you again in a few days.
