We have a Postfix(2.1.5)/Amavis-new(20030616)/SpamAssassin(3.0.2) setup
on RH9.  Our setup works very well with one exception:

We get this (or something like it) in the maillog on a regular basis:

Jul 30 06:35:28 spamhost amavis[1516]: (01516-18) cached
fa63a14bcc69e31f69e554579f645969 from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (1,0,1)

In many cases, it appears that this doesn't cause a problem.  However,
recently, we began to notice that truly CRAP SPAM messages are getting
through the system and delivered to users.  The 3 strange things about
this are:

1) The overall score is incredibly negative, -80 or below as if the
sender or some other part of the message was white listed...
2) There is no associated 'amavis spam_scan:' log entry...
3) In looking at the TIMING output, we see no indication of SA checks or
any other SA related activity...just Postfix, SMTP, etc. timing stats...

My first question is what does the above line in log file indicate?
Obviously, caching of some type within Amavis, but how does that tie
into the other issues of not seeing any indications of SA doing its
thing (other than the score reported)?

Forgive me if this is a newbie question!  I have searched across the
Internet trying to find some indication of what's going on with this,
but to no avail...

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Thanx!!

Dustin.
