Greetings list. I have been running spamassassin in default install mode for a few months now, and in the past week, I have been getting some miss-fires, I would have to assume, since I have been receiving obvious spam.
Where should I start in troubleshooting this type of issue? I have not had the time to really get deep into custom rule sets, and all, so I just wanted to know how if I need to add these addresses to the blacklist, or if I should first check to see if a specific setting is failing. I even got a particular email that listed a different name as the recipient, and gave that name in the heading of the email, but it was still addressed to me. I am not that familiar with spam practices, so that was just odd, in the least. I also want to know how to pipe the logs from spamd into /var/log/spamd.log. I have newsyslog.conf and syslog.conf set up to shoot those logs to that log file, however, nothing gets sent there. I guess everything is getting picked up by the maillog.info directive. The thing is, how do I unregister spamassassin as part of the mail system, so that this flag will not return true for spamd?
