spamassassin -D < 1 > 1.1 2>1.2

Tells me that I'm using score set 0 and score set 1.

debug: Score set 0 chosen.
...
debug: Score set 1 chosen.

Not really sure what this means.

Gotta get the regular rules running before I'll worry about additional
rules... but thanks for the pointer.  Or is the problem that I don't
have enough rules?

And I want to get bayes running as well.

This is from my maillog...

Jul 29 00:50:19 ... from 201.29.117.228 (hellen at sexyhot.com.br) to
pcplace.ca is not spam, SpamAssassin (score=0, required 4) 
Jul 29 11:05:24 ... from 142.165.20.172 (tracycarroll at sasktel.net) to
pcplace.ca is not spam (whitelisted), SpamAssassin (score=-100, required
4, USER_IN_WHITELIST -100.00) 

I think it's reasonable that the sexyhot message would trip at least one
test.  Or am I mistaken... clearly the whitelist rules are tested.
