Hello Everybody,


I started using spamassassin a while ago with version 2.X.X and it was
working great. It quickly decreased level of spam in my inbox to 1-3% of
total spam that was being sent to my address. I use it on my Mandrake 10
workstation by piping all messages from Evolution through spamassassin
-e, and throwing everything that doesn't return 0 away. I also have Spam
and Ham folders for further educating spamassassin and I periodically
execute sa-learn --spam --mbox
~/evolution/local/SA-learn/subfolders/Spam/mbox. I used default
configuration and there was never any need to tweak it.

Soon after version 3.0.0 became available, I did an upgrade. I don't
remember all the steps I executed, but I know I was following
instructions and it left me under an impression that everything went
smoothly. Next day, I realized it didn't -- my inbox was full of spam
again. Since the upgrade included conversion of Bayesian rules database,
I couldn't explain that by the need of the spamassassin to be retrained,
and accordingly, things never got any better. Today I found 103 spam
emails in my inbox and 154 recognized by spamassassin as spam -- not the
most satisfying ratio. I would appreciate any help or advice on how to
debug this problem. Apologies if this was already asked. I was not able
to find it.
