Indeed, *both* settings are overly aggressive to my taste. I use the standard of 5 and I get nearly zero spam. If you need to do that something's wrong. so I am wondering what I can do about this > situation? Has Spam assassin relaxed its filters of late? How should this happen since you didn't tell us if you did any updates in the meantime. If you didn't do any updates how should any "lowered" rules get in effect, anyway? > I know Spamd is working correctly on my servers. But it's obviously not configured correctly. Do you use any custom rules? Visit rulesemporium.com, use rulesdujour, use SURBL, visit www.exit0.us and check if your spam getting thru should have hit rules that it didn't hit. BTW, apart from my obvious hints above, you need to provide more detail if you want more detailed tips ...
