SA tests running but low

[Stefan Zauchenberger <st...@yahoo.com>]

Hello,

Spamassassin appears to be running and performing
tests, but the resulting scores are still unsually
low. As you can see below, I have set the threshold
down to 5. This should be tagging ALOT of spam, but it
is not. 

-------
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.63 (2004-01-11)
on server1.primefs.com
X-Spam-Status: No, hits=4.5 required=5.0
tests=HTML_40_50,HTML_MESSAGE,
       
HTML_WEB_BUGS,OFFERS_ETC,PRIORITY_NO_NAME,URI_OFFERS
autolearn=no
        version=2.63
X-Spam-Level: ****

------

I have appended the "-D" parameter to the spamassassin
command in /etc/procmail in order to see more
information, but I am not seeing additional details. 

How can I troubleshoot this further?

Thanks!

Stefan

I will drop in the bigevil rules from rulesemporium
along with some others, but I remain concerned that
the core phrase searching is somehow failing to to
score the mails correctly. I would like to confirm
this before additing new parameters. 


Is there any way I can double-check this???

1) Collect 200 or more spams and 200 or more hams and train the Bayes
   filter. Train it further on random hams and any spams that escape
   tagging or that you notice have a low Bayes score if you bother to
   look at your spam scores.
2) Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/ and pull down a selection of the
   spam rules that seems to fit your need. Place them in the same folder
   as the local.cf file, usually /etc/mail/spamassassin.
