Sorry about the generic subject, but it is the only thing this newbie knows to
describe the symptom.
Platform: Debian (Etch?)
Latest Spamassassin in apt (version 3.1.7-deb)
Invocation comes from KMail, via spamc (presumably) to the spamd daemon- set
up using KMail Wizard, and manually checked
Spamassassin doesn't seem to be catching much spam at all. I've run thousands
of spams through sa-learn, and hundreds of hams (needless to say, I get the
ratio of thousands of spams to tens of hams). I can't see where it's even
using the Bayes filter.
Here is the config file:

###########################################################################
rewrite_header Subject *****SPAM*****
required_score 5.0
use_bayes 1
bayes_auto_learn 1
#############################################################################
And here's the german portion of an example header from a processed email that
should have been spam but wasn't:
############################################################################
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.1.7-deb (2006-10-05) on
anw-dev.cfl.rr.com
X-Spam-Level:
X-Spam-Status: No, score=0.9 required=5.0 tests=SUBJ_HAS_UNIQ_ID autolearn=no
version=3.1.7-deb
X-Virus-Flag: no
Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
<snip>
###########################################################################
It looks like, to this unwashed newbie, that: a) it's not autolearning
(perhaps it doesn't on real emails?) and b) even though this email is full of
references like "boosting your sexual power" and "high quality medications",
and even comes from address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", you can see it is still
getting a low spam score.
TIA
