Yes, they do help on some of them.

I'd also suggest adding on the "specific" and "adult" rulesets from
rulesemporium.com.

The specific ruleset has signatures for many of those geocities website based
pornspams, and the adult ruleset has some extra rules for detecting adult
content beyond what SA comes with.


If you're new to add-on rulesets, just download them and copy the .cf file into
/etc/mail/spamassassin. Then issue a reload of MailScanner to get it to re-parse
all the SA rules.
