Spam increase after "upgrade" to 3.03 on Debian Stable

[Bill Moseley <mo...@hank.org>]

I'm stabbing in the dark a bit here, sorry.

I had a server running Debian Woody which was running, IIRC[1], 2.6x.
After upgrading to Sarge now running 3.0.3-2 and exim 4.50-8 the users
are complaining of a lot more spam getting through.  I'm now seeing it
also -- looking at a few of my spam mailboxes on that machine I can
see a change on the day I did the update to Sarge.

I thought I saw a post here about this a few weeks (months?) back but
I'm not having luck finding it in my pre-coffee haze looking though
the last 2000 or so messages.  That's why I'm posting, as I'm thinking
I saw a discussion about this.

I've also looked over my old backed-up configs compared to the current
ones and I'm not seeing any major differences.

Can anyone recommend where I should look for changes that might have
resulted in a change in the scoring?

BTW -- I'm also using RulesDuJour[2].

Thanks,
