I agree with most of the list - your options are: 1. enable all of the rules that spamassassin has (and install any necessary software a. Razor2 b. Pyzor c. DCC d. DNS rules 2. make sure that it is using and developing bayesian databases That much has gotten me a VERY good spam detection rate. Beyond that: 3. Add rules from some of the rule archives 4. Finally - examine the spam that doesn't get caught to try and determine patterns. Then you can write your own rules. ~Kyle -- Dealing with failure is easy: Work hard to improve.
