getting repeated spam hits

Hello,

I'm running SA 3.4 and am getting several messages like both of these,
headers below, that are getting through. I've run sa-learn on my Spam
folder to train Sa, but still they're getting through. There are two
separate sets of full headers x-d out to avoid giving server
information, but revealing the spam stuff. If anyone has any
suggestions on how to tighten this I'd like to know.

Thanks.
Dave.

I don't see BAYES_XX in your tests, look likes bayes isn't being used. Make
sure you train at least 200 ham and 200 spam, otherwise bayes does not kick
in.

That being said, I don't see many rules at all. And a required=1.2 is very
low. Did you ever run sa-update and restart amavis?  Make sure the new rules
are being used. 
And take a look at the URIBL_BLOCKED, one of your rbl lists is blocked. You
are doing too many queries (>100k) or you are using a (public) nameserver
which does.

You can also do a  lint,  spamassassin -D --lint and check if there are any
errors or not installed dependencies.

No BAYES rule hits at all. Either you haven't trained enough spam *and 
ham* for Bayes to start scoring messages, or Amavis is using a different 
Bayes database than the one you are training.

As others have noted, you should set up a local recursing (not forwarding) 
DNS server for your mail system to use, so that you avoid URIBL_BLOCKED.

Oops, you're absolutely right :)

Either way, using a local, non forwarding, DNS server should do the trick.

Nit: URI BL server, not DNS BL server.

Both of your tests show URIBL_BLOCKED. It appears you are not able to
contact a particular DNSBL server (because you're blocked).

Unless you run a large email system and send a lot of requests to the
server, you are most likely blocked due to using a common nameserver
(such as your ISPs nameserver). You may wish to run your own caching
nameserver to avoid this problem (if this is why you're blocked).

I just checked this IP address (104.140.56.120) and it's listed in at
least 7 blocklists.

You'll need to find out why you're "blocked". Once you can contact the
DNSBL server(s), you should be able to catch spam like these two.

tflags missing noautolearn for uribl_blocked

to resolve it more install bind9 without any forwarders, and change 
resolv.conf to nameserver 127.0.0.1

set named.conf to bind only for the same ip

then test, dig ipv4.google.com

if it says 127.0.0.1 in the nameserver field, you have solved it all

possible add rocks to blacklist_uri_hosts

check spamassassin --lint
