SA isn't magic, quite. It largely depends on having rules to catch
spams.
We have lots of people writing rules for English spams, but so far nobody
has volunteered to write many German rules.
Without rules, all you have basically is bayes and net tests. That will
catch a lot of things, but it won't catch the initial flow of a new spam.
sure I know. But I think I know now where the problems is:
all mail being forwarded from my old account to my new one is usually
seen as ham. Bayes and AWL have assigned it a score of maybe -100. so
case of an spam mail being delivered to that address it will rise to
score to maybe -80 - which is obviously still not enough. so maybe bayes
and awl should handle forwarded emails differently.
I'd say Bayes was working correctly but AWL has your old account marked
as whitelisted. Get it off your whitelist and keep it off. That may mean
you need to turn off AWL and do your whitelisting manually.
