The Bayes filter has never worked for me, but I can't train it either. This is a multi-user server and I can't put every single message I get manually into some script to teach it. It's not practical. And while Thunderbird has a Junk toolbar button it doesn't report back to the server. So that's not usable.

Switching from Exim to Postfix with all the configuration that hangs at it is way too much work. It's probably easier to switch from Linux+Exim to Windows with a complete mail solution that includes a working spam filter out of the box.

I have the impression that the often-recommended sanesecurity data which is included in clamav-unofficial-sigs doesn't help at all. I can't see any difference between before and after its installation.

It sounds like you may not have the Sanesecurity databases in the right spot. They should be catching a fair amount of junk.

Check your clamd install by grepping the logfiles to see where clamd is reading the databases from.

$ grep 'Reading databases' maillog
Mar 24 14:56:28 mailserver clamd[7431]: Reading databases from /usr/local/share/clamav

Then make sure your Sanesecurity databases are being put in that directory.

If that doesn't work, you may need to give us more detail on exactly how you are calling Clam so we can figure out exactly what is going wrong.
