email spam magic trick

[Markus <in...@animink.com>]

Hi all,
Spam Assassin is working perfectly for my friend Jason. Our settings, email 
accounts, everything is identical. We have the same domain name at the end of 
our addresses, but I get the spam. He has implimented rules in the local.cf 
file to mark certain words as spam. I can send him my spam, and it marks it as 
spam, with the hit value marked appropriately. He sends it back, and I get it 
unmarked, with the hit value very low. This seems to be the case with everyone 
else around here, except for Jason's account. We have had these 2 email 
accounts for over a year. It seems as if SA is only working on his email 
account. Any suggestions?

1- does he have rules that you others don't? It is generally recommended
to use some SARE rules (Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/). make sure
you know why you use any of these (the *0.cf are quite safe).

2- does he use Bayes? Then maybe he retrains his SA correctly but you don't.

3- do you have the correct setting for trusted_networks? If you see spam
with ALL_TRUSTED then you need to fix trusted_networks.

See the wiki for more infos.

Only one rude guess given the paucity of information in your post.

Restart spamd.

For more help supply more data.
