Sudden flood of jp/cn spam?

[LuKreme <kr...@kreme.com>]

I’m getting a lot of spam recently that is in Japanese and is not getting tagged by SpamAssassin (still on 3.3.1, but AIUI, 3.3.2 is a pretty minor update).

Interestingly, most of them hit BAYES_99 or BAYES_80 and MIME-HTML_ONLY_BODY, but nothing else.

Granted, I am only getting a few through a day versus dozens that are getting tagged, but I was wondering if anyone else had seen this increase.

Can I, on a per user basis, jack up the scores for non-english email?

In the ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs I have 

ok_locales en

but as far as I can tell that is not doing anything.

You may try to add a rule based on the mails' charset(s), something like
mimeheader LOCAL_BAD_CHARSETS    Content-Type =~ /charset=whatever/
score LOCAL_BAD_CHARSETS   1

Replace whatever with the unwanted charset(s) and adjust the score as 
wanted.

Hope this helps,
