More spam after spamassain upgrade

[Sanjay K. Patel]

Thanks for the response,
Here are the headers. I am using version 2.52

SpamCheck: not spam, SpamAssassin (score=0.4, required 5,
        FOR_JUST_SOME_AMT 0.18, HTML_50_60 0.10, HTML_FONT_BIG 0.22,
        HTML_FONT_COLOR_BLUE 0.10, HTML_FONT_COLOR_GRAY 0.10,
        HTML_FONT_COLOR_RED 0.10, HTML_WEB_BUGS 0.10,
        ORIGINAL_MESSAGE -0.50)

This was the normal buy Norton junk. It should have scored higher.

Can you post the headers for e.g. a "buy Norton cheap" message which got
through - the categories SA lists might help us to advise you. Which
version do you mean by "the latest version"? What platform? What version
of MailScanner etc etc

I'm using a copy of 2.60 from a little while ago along with DCC (with
it's score raised) and virtually nothing gets passed that.

Cheers
