[SAtalk] spamd is not filtering mails properly

[swapna ghosh]

 Hi

 

         Few months back I have insalled *spamassassin* with spamc/spamd
in one of our cobalt server the perl version installed at this server is
perl-5.00503-2. As it is a cobalt server, i can't upgrade perl because we
are under warrnty.

 

The spamassassin verion is 2.41. I had set the procmailrc file under
/etc. And set few rules like as follows::
_______________________________________________________
# SpamAssassin to its knees.
DROPPRIVS=yes
:0fw
* < 256000
| spamc
#
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
Maildir/

# All mail tagged as spam (eg. with a score higher than the set threshold)
# is moved to "probably-spam".
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
Maildir/
_______________________________________________________

         But i am getting information from our clients that they are
getting spam mails - that means few mails are not being filtered by
spamc/spamd.

         I checked the log file. I found that the mail one of the clint
has reported, those are showing as *clear messages* .

         Here i is the user-prefs configuration ::

_______________________________________________________

# How many hits before a mail is considered spam.
required_hits           4
#
# score SYMBOLIC_TEST_NAME n.nn
subject-tag     {SPAM?}
report_header   1

          Here is the mail which client has forwarded to me:::

I had installed this SA long time back. If anyone suggest/ give
some rectification, it will be really helpful.
