Depends on what version of SA you have and what extra rules you have from
the standard ones....I've got about 20 extra rule files covering all sorts
of stuff.

If you can drop an example of the stuff that's getting through to a web page
somewhere (full headers etc) I can run over my system and let you know if
any of my rules fire and can then advise from there..

Subject: [MAILSCANNER] cannot stop spam mail

I'm trying to stop certain emails from coming in.  I've run the sa-learn
against the mail but they keep getting past.  When I look at the score it is
still quite low and because it finds the mail clean it sends it through.  
Is there a way to see exactly what was checked?  The fact that sa-learn
isn't "learning" is a bit of a concern.  What do I have to do to get this
marked as spam?

Thanks
