Hello,
    Thanks for the replies. I am using sa 3.1.0 as an fbsd port. I'm also 
using ms-4.4.6 latest port also.
Upon suggestions i've added:

ok_locales en
ok_languages en

to my local.cf file and enabled the textcat plugin. I noticed bayes, or 
maybe it was pyzor or razor2 can't remember which was disabled, was this 
done intentionally? This is a mostly out of the box install, and for not 
customizing very much aside from tweaking some spam scores and altering the 
subject of spam messages sa 3.1 in combination with mailscanner makes one 
h*ll of a antispam tool! I have not written any custom spam rules as my 
existing setup catches a majority of it, though if anyone has any they'd 
like to share i am open to them.
I've got two unrelated questions, but does anyone have an entry for the 
website name, particularly one that has a spam policy page? I'd like to put 
up one, but have no idea how to say it. I hate spam, says the obvious, but 
if someone legit hits it i'd like the page to be semi-informative while not 
allowing spammers a wayaround. Secondly, what spamlists are the best? I know 
there's a lot of them, which ones catch the most, i'm looking for free ones 
with good reputations.
Any other suggestions welcome.
Thanks a lot.
Dave.
