I remember an email some time ago about an increase in non-ham messages
getting through when 3.0 first came out.

I recently upgraded my distro which included an upgrade to
SA-3.0.2.

I moved my old database, and imported the information using
sa-learn --import;
I then re-ran sa-learn on about 200M of archived "Junk" (non-ham) and
over all my current folders of "ham".

Unfortunately, I'm still noticing a significantly higher percentage of
SPAM getting through -- where before, I might get 0-3 SPAM emails
through per week, now I'm seeing about 15-20 through/day.

It's too early to tell on the false positive rate, but that ran...
between 0-4/week (if I count ads from vendors I did business with,
but hadn't bothered to unsub from their lists) to
0-4/month of real false negatives that were usually from businesses
I'd just done business with and hadn't whitelisted.

Is this new decreased detection rate a permanent "feature" or
trade-off of the newer-less memory intensive features of spamd/spamc,
or do I need to retune something?

Just shooting in the dark incase there's an FAQ type doc for
people upgrading from 2.6x to 3.0.x...

thanks in advance...
Linda
