I personally have a higher-than 1 in every 500 FP rate from URIBL_BLACK.

# grep URIBL_BLACK maillog  |wc -l
   3992

# grep URIBL_BLACK maillog |grep BSP_TRUSTED |wc -l
      9

Most of those come from hits against emails sent by ediets.com's subscriber
services. While this site is heavily ad laden, it is a subscriber service.

I am inclined to think there are a very few false positives, one every
couple thousand or so. Spam that manages to sail through, here, do not
seem to get marked with any BL rules as a general rule. That is why it
scores 3.0 rather than a higher number. {^_-}

is that 2% ham hits really missed spam or are you having false positives
due to URIBL_BLACK??

Cheers, Gene
People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word
'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's
stupid bounce rules.  I do use spamassassin too. :-)

Try:

# perl ./sa-stats-1.0.txt -l /var/log/ -f syslog.log

I found that you need to specify both the directory and the log file 
separately.  But then you can read in several files at once.

Thanks for your response!  I am running 3.0.3 on Debian Sarge (stable).  The 
logs I have to use are /var/log/mail.log or /var/log/syslog.  Using the 
"other" sa-stats.pl (that works fine), I use the log mail.log.  Both 
mail.log and syslog have entries like:

Using the latest file from rules emporium, I made the file execuatable, 
then:

./sa-stats-1.0.txt -l /var/log/spamassassin/ -f spamd.log

For help:
./sa-stats-1.0.txt -h

Good day, eh.

Generally an sa-stats.pl will tell you what parameters are. The defaults
for the sa-stats.pl that come with SpamAssassin Tools are useless. I
went in and edited them. I made "end" be "today" and "start" be "yesterday."
It's maybe not ideal. But it functions as well as that puppy ever functions.

The SARE version works fine as long as it can figure out where the
mail log lives.

I have the "other sa-stats.pl" working well on my system.  But I'm 
apparently not pointing the "other" version from RE to the log file 
correctly, as the results are all zero.

Major perl inexperience here - Would someone pleez send me their config 
lines for the RE version?

Thanks - John

Unforch Joanne, I was not able to find a link that lead to that script 
on that site.  I'll check later as I bookmarked it, but it looked as if 
maybe it wasn't all 'up' when I checked.

Thanks.

Wrong tool. Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/ and find the sa-stats.pl
on their site. It is the one most of us are using. It gives individual
score breakdowns. The name coincidence is regrettable.

Re: Post your top 10 from sa-stats

Greetings;

One of this threads messages prompted me to locate this script and run 
it, which I found in the 

/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.1.0/tools/sa-stats.pl

as if it hadn't been installed.  Maybe it hasn't?  Unforch, it would 
appear that stats are not being kept as all categories report 0.

What option do I need to set, and where, in order to enable this 'record 
keeping'?

Thanks.

No, I'm running 3.1. Must have been a bad day for a sample.  The JP rule 
was #13 that day.  Re-ran the stats for the previous week instead of a 
single day:

   5    URIBL_OB_SURBL                   2110     3.30    5.35   30.20 
0.02
   6    URIBL_WS_SURBL                   1787     2.80    4.53   25.58 
0.10
   7    URIBL_JP_SURBL                   1752     2.74    4.44   25.08 
0.01
  25    URIBL_SC_SURBL                    344     0.54    0.87    4.92 
0.00
  94    URIBL_AB_SURBL                     94     0.15    0.24    1.35 
0.00

Spam: 6987  Ham: 32462  Total: 39449

Maybe the greylisting is filtering out a lot of the spam that would 
normally hit the JP list.  I know it easily blocks at least 90% of spam 
from even getting to SA in the first place.  Before greylisting SA would 
process 60-70 thousand spams per week, now it's usually less than 7000.

I'd recommend adding a rule for jp.surbl.org if you don't already
have one.  It's generally our best performing list currently.  A
sample rule is mentioned under "jp - jwSpamSpy + Prolocation data
source" on our Quick Start page:

  http://www.surbl.org/

Are you perhaps using a pre-3.1 version of SpamAssassin?
