You need to look into some of the custom
rules as well as creating a well trained bayes database. That will help a
lot.

Subject: SpamAssassin Failing?
Hello everyone,
I'm new to this mailing list so I apologize if the following question has been
asked before. When I first installed SA on my server, it ran perfectly
and blocked a lot of spam for my users. Recently over the past 3 weeks,
it seems as if SpamAssassin is almost completely failing to block spam.
Messages are getting through now at an average of 3-4 a day, whereas before
they had been blocked.
I did some searching on the Web and I came across other users reporting this
same problem over the last few weeks. It seems that the majority of
spammers have begun specifically writing their messages to defeat the
SpamAssassin detection software.
Although this may be something I can fix with settings changes, given the
widespread nature of this new problem and the amount of messages now getting
through, are there any plans to update SA to deal with this new problem?
Thanks in advance,
Scott Selikoff
