Spam getting through MailScanner and SA

Hi.

The only extra rules for SA are a couple of subject line scans for some
spam that have their subject line in plain text. These reside in
/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf

I am running bayes. I do have a couple of spam traps setup and run that
mail through bayes with sa-learn nightly. Of course I just discovered that
the bayes rules files pointed to by spam.assassin.prefs.conf were not the
rules files being updated when I ran sa-learn nightly... All the updates
were being written to /root/.spamassassin and not /var/spool/spamassassin.
That is fixed now so maybe the messages will go away.

I'm also running rules-du-jour with daily updates.

The list is great for picking up bits and pieces of the operation of the
different software.
