Not sure what you're asking here. Doesn't SA work by applying the X-Spametc headers to every e-mail by default, and reports the spam score in one of the headers. Is there anyway of getting SA to report to me the contents of the local.cf file that the server is using? My problem is that it does write these headers for some e-mails, but not for others, and there doesn't appear to be any consistency between the ones that it does and the ones that it doesn't. I suppose it could just be a volume thing. If xx mails arrive at the same time, could this cause SA or spamd to exit early?

All of the spam mails that I receive are small file sizes (many simply plain text with a url to online medication sites etc) so size isn't a problem. Can you suggest a specific log file which might be useful? Or a cronjob that I could set up which would report to me the right log file? Thanks for your help so far!

SA only seeing certain mails
I own a couple of domains that are hosted on a shared hosting setup, for which I don't have shell access but do have cPanel access. For quite a while SA was working nicely, but recently it appears to have stopped filtering many mails. The reason I am saying this is that mails are arriving in my mailbox (on the server) for which a few have X-Spam headers written, but most of them don't. The hosting is running SA 3.2.3. My user_prefs file contains:- required_score 4 required_hits 4 rewrite_header subject MATTSPAM bayes_expiry_max_db_size 15 I've had problems with toks files not expiring properly and the bayes_toks file growing to 40MB, as well as file locks sometimes not being removed, so daily I have two cronjobs running:- ls -l .spamassassin/ to give me a file listing so I can delete any locked files (get a lock about once every 5 days or so) sa-learn --force-expire -D to keep bayes_toks under control Both of these seem to work fine, and may be overkill. What I'm looking for is a way (behind cPanel) to debug what is or isn't happening with SA to cause some mails to be seen by SA and some not to be seen. I get about 5 ham mails per day, and about 1,000 spam mails, so its starting to irritate me!! Any help gratefully received! (I don't pay anything for the shared hosting as I get it free from a mate who is a re-seller, so I'm not really in a position to hassle their help desk!) TIA!
