I just setup a server 2 days ago and had one active domain running in

I still get tons of spams, the hit rate was well below 10%. Out of
every 10 spams, less than 1 was tagged in average.
My score to tag is 5, 8 to delete
Interesting. It really shouldn't be anywhere near that bad, even using
an "out of the box" install unless you've got some configuration issues,
so it's worth looking for common problems.
What version are you running? Have you run sa-update? Can you at least
quote X-Spam-Status headers for some of missed spam? (even better would
be to put whole emails up as examples somewhere on the web, but the
X-Spam-Status will sometimes show us what's going on by itself, and it's
a whole lot easier..)
Have you looked at the hits on those spam emails?
Does ALL_TRUSTED ever show up in spam? If so, read
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/TrustPath
Does the spam match BAYES_00? If so, use sa-learn to clear your bayes
database and retrain it, as something clearly went wrong there.
Do any of the spams match WHITELIST_*.. if so, you need to look at your
whitelisting configs. The most common mistake here is doing
"whitelist_from [EMAIL PROTECTED]", and ending up whitelisting all spam
that's spoofing your source.
I see you're using Pyzor, do you have a recent Net::DNS and working DNS?
(ie: do any spams match rules starting with "RCVD_IN_")
Now I focus my customizations on plugins which I hope can enhance the
chance of catching spams.
The followings are my plugins list, I wonder if there are any plugin
which I should include/exclude to make my SA work better.
I think we need to find out why your base install isn't working properly
before we start adding things.
