Spamassassin wouldn't get things so wrong, in my experience.
I have spamassassin on my end and it rarely has a false positive. I
don't know
what they use, but it certainly wasn't well configured on their
"recommended setting"
where it had a very high false positive rate.
You're posting to this list because I assume you know your provider is
using spamassassin.

The start of filtering out spam is filtering out mail that doesn't have
a valid return address --
it's not valid email. I'm stuck because my ISP won't filter it out, I
have to download it
to find out that it's invalid, then local sendmail rejects it, so it
stays in their box.
Perhaps you can filter on the SA headers in the emails, before running
your scripts?
Dump the spam, and only forward on the good email.
I have the end node -- so I have to take everything they give to filter
out the spam.
I was wondering if anyone had any experience in showing their ISP "the
light"...
Oh well....
