Begginer Spam getting through
Hello,
I have two mailservers one running amavis + spamassasin 2.x and the other
running spamassasin 3 as a filter from maildrop. The maildrop+ spamassim 3.x
let more spam get through then spamassasin 3.x, i believe it is some
configuration but I always used spamassasin in default options. So I have no
idea where to start looking. Some directions would be very nice.

I was missing the big picture, I think now I will be able to make it work as
expected. Thanks all for the help.

SA can do the job partly for you. All mails exeeding or below a threshold
are
fed by SA to sa-learn. In Mail::Spamassassin::Conf you will find the
threshold parameter for ham and spam under the bayes autolearn.
RTFM; take the time to read "man Mail::Spamassassin::Conf". It payes back.

Hello Angelo
try "man Mail::Spamassassin::Conf" or http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/
Bayes is enabled by use_bayes 1 (default in 3.0.x) but it fires only if you
have feed at least 200 ham and 200 spam messages to sa-learn.

What about Bayes and Network rules.
Could you be more precise with the version numbers?
