spam still getting through

[Martin Hepworth]

Dave

Have you got the surbl.org plugin installed (check the init.pre in
/etc/mail/spamassassin)? This is really good...

What extra rules have you loaded into /etc/mail/spamassassin ? There are
some really good ones in www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm and a script
call rulesdujour that will help keep them up to date.
