I’ve be using spamassasin for a number of years with excellent results. But, now over the last month or so, it has been scoring spam very low. It still catches most spam, but whereas only about a dozen or so might get through to my inbox in a week, I’m suddenly getting a dozen or so a day. I run sa-update via cron every dat and I have a special mail folder where I place missed spam and run sa-learn against it weekly. I know its an arms race out there fighting spam, but here some sample subject lines with SA's scores that I think should be caught. I know spamassasin looks at a lot more than subject lines, but Does anyone know what I can do to increase spamassasin’s ability to detect spam? My threshold is set to 4.6.
