> Hello everyone.
>
> Quick background here. Been running MS for almost 4 weeks now
> and it has been great and doing everything. I have not had to
> do a whole lot of tweaking with things because it was working
> so well (add to the fact im overworked as well :) )...
>
> Anyway, just this past weekend, I noticed that some spam was
> starting to slip through my Mail Gateway server, which
> prompted me to start thinking about tweaking SA a little bit.
>
> Anyway, like I said, have not had to do a lot of tweaking
> from the get go, but here is what I have.
> Setup my default SA rules: low scoring spam is at 5: high is at 10.
>
> I only downloaded to custom .cf files from
> www.rulesemporium.com anti-drug.cf chickenpox.cf
>
> Since additional spam was starting to leak through, I was
> going to start writing some custom rulesets for SA as well as
> maybe download a few rulesets.
>
> Was curious if anyone has a list of what rulesets work the
> best? Are there a list of favorite rulesets that seem to work well?
>
> Just thought i'd ask before I start downloading a few of
> these .cf files.
>
> Thanks guys.
