Hello

Before I begin with my questions, here is a description of my setup: I
am using the latest version of SpamAssassin (3.2.5). My perl version
is perl-5.8.3-32.9 - the distribution (Suse 9.1) is rather old, most
of the packages I actually use are self-compiled. I use getmail 4.9.1
to fetch the emails, which are then handed to procmail 3.22-39.7,
which calls spamassassin with the following rules:

:0fw: spamassassin.lock
| spamassassin

:0
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
spam

My first problem is that there is still a lot of spam coming through.
I have enabled and configured Razor, DCC and Pyzor but even though
most spam is recognized by DCC it doesn't give enough points to
classify the mail as spam.

I have tried adding the appropriate lines, which I believe should be
"score DCC_CHECK 5.0" if I want all emails which "pass" the DCC-Check
to get 5 points. Unfortunately this is not working, neither for DCC
nor for Razor. I know the config file
/home/stefan/.spamassassin/user_prefs is read and working since my
blacklist-entries are recognized, as is "report_safe 0".
So which lines do I have to add in order for all mails which are
recognized by either DCC, Razor or Pyzor to be classified as Spam?

My second question is much simpler:

Locate lists two directories with SpamAssassin-Rules:
/var/lib/spamassassin/3.002005/updates_spamassassin_org/
/usr/share/spamassassin

Running spamassassin -D < sample-spam.txt seems to indicate that only
the directory under /var/lib is used. Can I delete the old files in
/usr/share/spamassassin or are they still needed? Why does
SpamAssassin place the updates rules in a different directoy than the
one in which the original rules are installed?

Bye
Stefan
