SpamAssassin with Amavisd-new
I have Postfix/Dovecot running on my CentOS-6.4 server,
and I'm trying to add SpamAssassin through Amavisd.
I have followed meticulously the instructions in
<http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Amavisd>.
As far as I can tell, amavisd and clamav are running,
as also is spamd.
I have set
ok_languages en it fr de ga
in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
but am still getting oodles of spam (I assume) in Chinese.
What am I doing wrong?

The textcat plugin doesn't work with unicode.

Well, this shouldn't affect the results, but if you followed those
instructions, you should NOT have spamd running. SA is being run from
amavisd, running spamd as well is a waste of resources.
To determine why you are getting the spam, take a look at the headers.
Are there amavis/spamd headers there? Do the headers say it is spam?

spamd is not used in amavisd, waste of resources

spamassassin 2>&1 -D --lint | less
is textcat plugin loaded ?
is there missing perlmodules ? in dependice ?, that part can be seen in
--lint

Be aware that all SA does is to add a header to every message giving its
spammminess score. Something else has to use that score to recognise and
deal with spam. So, what program(s) look at the message after SA has
scored it and what do they with spam that differs from what they do with
ham?
