Sudden surge in spam

Another thing you can do that I've found helpful for debugging
problems is to scan the message directly with spamassassin. To do
this, find the complete message with all headers intact, then run
"spamassassin -DP < message". It gives you debug output showing what
spamassassin is doing. For good measure, if you want to report the
spam to the razor network (and maybe others), run again
"spamassassin -r < message".
