Matthias,
There are a couple things you can try. First of all I would recommend
Spambayes. I've been using it for a couple weeks now and it has cut the false
negatives down to a minimum. I use it via procmail to filter any messages that get
through spamassassin. Another option may be to tweak some of the scores in
spamassassin. I have found this to be very time consuming and tedious work but it
does help.
