Hi Jennifer, I read your mail. But this is something little above it. There are certain words in 20_porn.cf. When I use only those words even then the rating given is too low. I used 5 words from the list in same case.. even then the mail was given only 1.4 points...Any idea? I can write my won rules but ....the already existing are not working up to the mark...they are liberal even if exact word in exact case is used. Regards, Rajdeep

Okay, I think I am with you now. It looks like you are set up fine. When I first set up SA, I had to add *many* rules. Especially porn rules. I haven't done the upgrade yet, so I don't know what they added to that porn.cf. It was too liberal for me, so I added a LOT of porn rules. (plus Spammers are also hiding their words with tricks. You might check out a couple rules sites to make sure you are writing them okay, and you also should do "spamassassin --lint" (without the quotes) ...it will tell you if you have errors in your config files. Then restart. Check out http://www.exit0.us/index.php http://www.merchantsoverseas.com/wwwroot/gorilla/sa_rules.htm They have some excellent rules to download, and tips on writing rules. You should get the popcorn, backhair and weeds sets because those will stop a lot of the porn hiding behind messy html tricks. That would be a good start. But you will have to continue to add user rules for porn, bad words, bad sites.... whatever works. If you have rules you've written that should work but don't, you could try posting the rule to the list, and if someone sees the problem, they can then point it out. If the problem is not with the rule, then they will know to ask about your setup. I've only been using SA for about 3 months now, and I'm better at rule writing than knowing the ins and outs of setup. You may have as many .cf files in /etc/mail/spamassassin as you like. In addition to my local.cf (to which I wrote most of my custom rules) I think I have about 6 others right now. I have written about a thousand rules. One of those 6 is my wb.cf, and I do all my whitelisting and blacklisting in that file. I hope that helps. And I'm sorry if I told you something you already knew to do! And I'm sure this email was as confusing as I said yours was :) sorry, I'm at work and doing many things at once.
