Hi all,
I'm having a problem running spamassassin on Debian stable (version 3.1).
All of my spam (and I get about 5-10/day) is being marked as ham with a
score of 0.1. In the few days so far that I've ran it, nothing has been
marked as spam except for the "test spam" file which came with the
installation (that was scored at 900-something).
I was wondering if this is a problem with Debian stable. Since it isn't
up-to-date except for security patches, does that mean the rules, etc. are
also out-of-date? Debian stable happens to use version 3.0.3 of
spamassassin -- quite out of date. Or is it a problem with how I am
running it? I didn't change any of the settings as I assumed the
installation defaults would be "ok".
Any thoughts? Is upgrading spamassassin (or waiting for Debian stable to
get upgraded) my best option?

I would suggest installing a newer version from backports.org.
In /etc/apt/sources.list add this if it is not there now:
deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ sarge-backports main contrib non-free
In /etc/apt/preferences, add:
Package: *
Pin: release a=sarge-backports
Pin-Priority: 200
Place this in an /etc/apt/apt.conf file:
APT::Cache-Limit "25165824";
Run 'apt-get update', then to simulate:
apt-get -s -t sarge-backports install spamassassin
Then to install (upgrade):
apt-get -t sarge-backports install spamassassin
How are you integrating spamassassin?
