Does SpamAssassin support SPF?
Does SpamAssassin support SPF record checking? Or is this something I have to patch into my incoming SMTP server?
Blacklist of phone numbers?
Is there a blacklist of phone numbers? A lot of diploma spam I get has totally different message bodies, except they list the same phone number to call.
Lots of this kind of spam getting through
I'm getting about 50+ per day of these spams not being caught by SpamAssassin (SpamAssassin version 3.1.1 running on Perl version 5.8.4). There's two types: 1. Lose weight type spam, uses bad English e.g. yrs instead of years, u instead of you, ur instead of your, talks about not having talked to the recipient in years http://www.aaanime.net/pmak/spam/2006-05-27/1.txt http://www.aaanime.net/pmak/spam/2006-05-27/2.txt http://www.aaanime.net/pmak/spam/2006-05-27/3.txt These spams all have different URLs, but if you visit them they're exactly the same site. The first two resolve to the same IP address too, though the third doesn't despite having the same content. 2. Homeowner credit, or something http://www.aaanime.net/pmak/spam/2006-05-27/a.txt http://www.aaanime.net/pmak/spam/2006-05-27/b.txt These spams keep slipping through SpamAssassin consistently. Most of my false negatives are variants of the messages I posted above. Any suggestions on how to block them? P.S. Looks like this mailing list's spam filter can block them! The first time I tried to send this message, I had the spams included in the body of my message and they got blocked. users@spamassassin.apache.org: 140.211.166.49 failed after I sent the message.

ALL_TRUSTED causing false negatives?
I've been getting a lot of spam lately ever since I moved my mail server to a new system. Here's one of the false negatives that slipped through, for example: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.1 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_50, NO_REAL_NAME,RCVD_BY_IP,YOUR_INCOME autolearn=ham version=3.0.3 X-Spam-Summary: 0.0 NO_REAL_NAME From: does not include a real name 0.1 RCVD_BY_IP Received by mail server with no name -3.3 ALL_TRUSTEDDid not pass through any untrusted hosts 1.1 YOUR_INCOMEBODY: Doing something with my income 0.0 BAYES_50 BODY: Bayesian spam probability is 40 to 60% [score: 0.5000] Why does ALL_TRUSTED have a score of -3.3? Doesn't this mean that any spammer who connects directly to my mail server has a good chance of getting past SpamAssassin? I did not define any trusted/internal networks when I installed SpamAssassin.
