i've noticed that lately (with SpamAssassin) i'm getting a few messages
per day (at least 5 today) that are getting below my SpamAssassin radar
(currently set to spam at score 3). in fact, some spam are getting
scores much less than zero (e.g., -6), and are getting quite big (just
got a couple of 1MB spams). i bypass SpamAssassin for large messages; i
may have to change that policy. i get about 30-50 spam per day.
and now i've just noticed i have a couple of false positives from the
last five days: Brumbies B-Mail, and slashdot daily newsletter ("hair"
[as in "hairdos"] and "loss" [as in "Some_fear_loss_of_privacy"] added
4.3 to the score). all but one of the recent spam to clug were filtered.
cheers,
