Hi everyone,

We upgraded to the latest and greatest version of MailScanner a week ago;
we upgraded to SpamAssassin 3.0.1 at the same time. Unfortunately, the
new system seems to be good but not as good as the older stuff at
detecting and stopping spam. I was hoping for an improvement, of course.
As far as I can tell, spam is still getting points in SA, but the scores
tend to be lower than they used to be. Looking at the score distribution
chart (Thanks again Steve!) in MailWatch, it's as though the whole thing
is shifted to the left.

We have DCC and Razor running and we're getting rule hits there. One
thing we used to have was the SURBL URI check, but I understand this is
now built in to SA3. As far as I can tell, we're not getting any such
hits. Is there anything special I need to enable or configure?

What else should we be installing, etc?

Thanks.
