When I run sa-stats I get a bunch of lines of this:
Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected non-continuation byte 0x78,
immediately after start byte 0xf3) at
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/Date/Manip.pm line 6488.
And then all zero's for the report.

I'd like to know off hand what kind of hit rates people are getting.

90% of the
I can tell ya were SA would be wonderful... is on cell phones. The amount
of spam pouring into our corporate cell phones makes the email/text
messaging virtually unusable. And I get complaints about it all the time
because the message indicators are always one and it takes forever to weed
In the last 6 months or so, our spam volume has tripled as I am sure it has
for many of you. For the month of November, we topped out at over 110,000
spam emails into the company (yea for us?). 80,000+ were outright
/dev/null'd for the obvious potty language, appendage enhancement, etc, etc.
and
SA: 10 Spammers: 7
That was the score this morning for my email. There seems to be a lot more
of this going on. Is there anything I can do to plug these holes? We are
running Postfix + SA 2.6 site-wide as a relay, so we are not running Bayes.
I have never had this much trouble with SA before,
You will need to adjust the search string to match your mail logs.
my $t = grep /connect from/, @wholefile;# total
my $s = grep /identified spam/, @wholefile; # spam
my $d = grep /reject:/, @wholefile; #
ruleset
Quite Frankly, with 2.6, the popcorn, backhair, and weeds rules, and a few
other custom rules, I have had no need to run Bayes on our site-wide SA
implementation. We are having huge success right now. In the past week SA
has missed maybe 10 or so spam which is over 96% accuracy and with no FP's
I have SA running as
aFilter/Relayon a RH 7.3 box. It is a Celeron 1.4Ghz. It
processes mail for about 250 users. Ithas a single7200RPM IDE
drive and 768MB of PC100 RAM. I process around 4000 messages a day (Most
of it spam)

Okay .. silly question then...
Do you just copy the evilrules.cf to /etc/mail/spamassassin and restart SA
and then SA will just process whatever .cf files are in the folder? Or do I
cat that to the local.cf file?

Okay .. I found tools, no problem...
But .. since SA runs as a non-privledged user with no logon on a site-wide
install, how do you run the tools to see what that db has in it? SA wants
to see the db under /root/.spamassassin. SA runs as the user filter which
has no logon.

Well the first impact of leaving it the way you have it show is that you
just added over 20 charachters to the front of any subject line which will
make some mail clients truncate the displayed real subject. I show the
score in my subject lines, but I use the subject_tag modifier in the
local.cf
This discussion could go on infinitum, but the bottom line is that there are
plenty of real and significant companies that pre-maturely release
un-baked products, do not release patches in the timely manner, and
abandon products that large portions of their user base were perfectly happy
with in

Here is the proverbial Me too email! SA has made a huge impact here. In
the first full month of operation, SA tagged over 31,000 emails into our
company. If you figure it takes an average user 10 seconds to open an
unidentified spam message, figure out it is spam, and throw it away, SA
saves us
Is there way to bias the native language scores in SA? I have notice that
a significant portion of the spam that is sneeking past SA is non-english.
The bulk of it looks like it is either spanish or portuguese.
Thanks

Well.. the whole thing is really a moot point. Nobody is pointing a gun at
anybody and making them use SA. Nobody is forcing SA implementers to use
black-lists.
I don't want my employees being solicited via email on company time anymore
than I would let somebody in the front door to go cubicle
Pretty straight forward actually.
The blue line is your total inbound mail. The green is how much spam, and
the orange ( I think it is orange. I'm color blind.) is percent of your
mail that is spam. The reason it drops to 0 is that your maillogs rotate
every sunday at 4AM. If you look in
This is a totaly stupid question, but...
Did you restart spamd after you made the local.cf changes?
How do I know this is a stupid question? Guess. :-)

How do I get SA to alter the headers, but not the body of the email?
If I set report_header 1 it removes the score from both the headers and the
body. I would like the score to be left in the headers, but removed from
the body of the email.

BURP! That was delicious.
Frankly, anything (and I don't care how crude, inefficient, CPU hog,
