So if your bayes 'good' tokens that happen to catch on this 'irrelevant' text, the result of having the bayes is near pointless. For example, something like this: In practise I find it doesn't make much difference unless the spammer makes a significant effort to reduce the number of spammy tokens, both in the headers and the body. And that commonly leads them into hitting other rules, and constrains the number of spams that can be sent from the same IP address. The majority of the spams I get don't have such text and most that do still hit BAYES_99. It's obviously not such a powerful technique as you think. It's also wrong to assume that when spam hits BAYES_50, BAYES hasn't done anything useful. This is a fallacy that comes from the arbitrary assignment of zero to BAYES_50. If you add 2.599 to all the BAYES rules and than multiply all the rule scores by 0.658 you get an equivalent scoreset (i.e. one that produces the same classifications) in which zero is assigned to BAYES_00 instead. We than have: BAYES_00 0.00 BAYES_50 1.71 BAYES_99 4.01 In this scoreset BAYES_50 actually looks like a fairly strong result (which it is). OK, I won't dismiss it out of hand and I'm open to observation. So, I'll give bayes a whirl. I must confess that I found the documentation on the simple act of enabling it less than ideal and reference to use_bayes_rules is currently missing in action. I've cobbled together: # Enable the Bayes system use_bayes 1 use_bayes_rules 0 bayes_path /home/mail/bayes/bayes bayes_file_mode 0777 # Enable Bayes auto-learning bayes_auto_learn0 And trained some spam and I'll see how we get on. -- --- C Werclick .Lot Technical incompetent Loyal Order Of The Teapot.

.cn domain age query?
(resend, first attempted about 14 hours ago) I noticed that many spam (in English) have links like can't include in this post because of apache.org's spam filter.cn where the domains are not triggering URIBL's. It seems that they have thousands of randomword.cn domains (very cheap to register?), and I very rarely see them repeat from one spam to the next. One thing they all have in common is their registration dates are very young according to whois lookups. It seems in general if we had a reliable way to lookup domain age we might be able to differentiate spam. Is there any good way to query for the age of a domain? Unfortunately it seems whois is too slow and the text format is non-standard. Warren Togami wtog...@redhat.com

Spamc issues with remote userprefs
Hi, We're rebuilding a mail server and are having some issues with SQL-based SA preference lookups. We're running Postfix 2.5.5 and SA 3.2.5 (Debian Lenny version) - here's our Postfix config from master.cf: spamassassin unix - n n - - pipe user=spamd argv=/usr/bin/spamc -u ${user} -e /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -f ${sender} ${recipient} old non-lookup line: user=spamd argv=/usr/bin/spamc -f -e /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -f ${sender} ${recipient} What's happening is that individual incoming messages get handed off to SA using the spamc command above, but SA is only processing the first message and never handing it back to Postfix, while the other messages never seem to get processed at all (nothing at all about them in the logs). The old non-lookup line works fine. Has anyone here experienced similar issues?
