I did look there first, but my questions weren't addressed. :-( > If you're concerned about re-asking questions that have been asked > before, then the best thing to do is to search the mailing list > archives - see http://www.spamassassin.org/lists.html for their > locations. Thanks. Unfortunately, I didn't have a lot of luck with it. I found one guy asking one of my questions, but it doesn't look like anyone answered him. > On the other hand, the whole point of a list is to ask questions, and > as long as you show the ability to post sensible questions and learn > from the answers :-) I'm sure no one is going to mind. Ok - here goes. I've currently got things set up so that my mail is filtered through procmail, sending mail from my "approved" address and subject lists directly to my mailbox, sending mail from my "denied" address and subject lists to /dev/null, and the rest goes to SA. This may or may not be the best way to do it. I'd appreciate any opinions. My primary question is this - I've got version 2.54, which is nearly the latest version. But the spammers are customizing their messages to fool this current version, and I get a fair amount of spam every day. I have to believe that you all are finding ways to plug these holes, and perhaps you're all sharing these new rules somehow. At least that's what I'm hoping. Lately, I'm getting a lot of spam that is primarily a simple email with little more than an image with a link. A similar one is a paragraph of seemingly random words, followed by the image/link, followed by another paragraph of random words. I've seen a lot of reference to the Bayes database and sa-learn, but I'm having a hard time finding somewhere that it explains it all and how I can utilize it.
