Are you running SARE_HTML1 and SARE_HTML2 without SARE_HTML0? SARE_HTML0 is the more powerful rules file in that family, of which SARE_HTML1 is the less effective smaller brother.

Check into the SARE_HEADER family also, and SARE_SPECIFIC. But even without these, 60% seems awfully low.

I run with Bayes_99 = my required-hits threshold. I also notice you don't have any of the SURBL or other Network tests showing. If you can enable network testing I suspect you'll catch a lot more of your spam. Bob Menschel
