On Thu 17 Jun I deleted and reapplied the filters to Chopchop>cbcog98.org
On Fri 18 Jun +8 *'s were still not being sent to dev/nul

I run the same here at home Chopchop>wap3.com
Below is one that came in this morning

CPanel Filters:
Any Header > Begins >> X-Spam-Level: ********
Any Header > Contains >> ********

When I put this in the test area it works, but there seems to be a timing/order problem with filters and SA
Could the filters be running before SA?
Are the SA headers not being added after SA and before filters?

This issue is clogging up PopFile History on the local mailservers with this trash
When our office [cbcog98] starts at 07:00 every morning at least 50 mails are retrieved with only 3-5 good ones, 3-5 that are in the point range 2.5 and 8 and have to checked manually in the quaranteened mailbox and the rest should have gone to dev/nul

This morning as so far has 23 mails, 2 PopFile classed MAIL, the rest DELETE and the ones I quickly checked are beyond the filter +8 *'s setting

Like I said when I first did this after the parent posting it worked for a month or so and the last few weeks has been failing

Thanks

Hey BigJohn. Thanks a lot for the great tutorial.

I have done all the steps for my personal website, and even tho the "bayes_seen" and "bayes_toks" files seem to have grown a lot, and I can see some info about emails that were for processing on them, the email cron sent me was not very informative. All I got was this:

Code:
Learning SPAM
Learning HAM
Done
I was expecting to see the "Learned from X message(s) (Y message(s) examined)" message, but nothing beyond those lines came.

Of course, if the learning process is working, this shouldn't be a problem, but it would be better to be able to know what is happening. Could you give any hint of what could I do?

Well, I just noticed that the script is case sensitive. My SPAM and HAM folder names were in small caps. Renamed them, and worked just fine.

Again, thanks for the tutorial.

When should I expect SA to start using Bayes scores?

After it's scanned 500 messages in your SPAM folder.

You can also edit key scores. For example, I adjusted "numeric helo" to be a higher value (3 I think) because I've never seen a ligit email server NOT reply with it's name....

E-mails marked as spam by SpamAssissin no longer appends "** POSSIBLE SPAM**" to the subject. This started yesterday. Has anyone else experienced this? The settings in SpamAssassin are correct.

I'm sure I've received over 500 spams by now, but I've yet to get a Bayes score on any spam.

I've already kicked that into support. They're digging into it.
