What version of SpamAssassin are you using? I would suggest you raise your threshold to at least 4.0 if not back to the original 5.0, and you fix your operation so it catches more spam: 1) If you aren't using network tests, do so. 2) If you aren't using SURBL tests, do so. 3) If you aren't using the better SARE rules files, do so. Thousands of non-spam come through the systems here each week with scores 2.0 to 3.0; very few spam get below 5.0 However, realize that you cannot reach 100% accuracy. There is no way to catch every single spam without also flagging some non-spam as if it were spam. Bob Menschel
