I suspect then that my bayes filter is not working correctly.
I dayly try to istruct spamassasin using
===========================================
sa-learn --spam --mbox /var/mail/spam and
sa-learn --ham --mbox /var/mail/notspam
===========================================

But it still scores that kind of spam as non spam, For ex. This was a spam
message:
==============================
Sep  4 20:56:33 netra MailScanner[24463]: Message m84IuSPZ011375 from
77.182.10.184 (36salamancak13 at viajesecuador.net) to database.it is non spam,
SpamAssassin (not cached, punteggio=-1.209, necessario 5, BAYES_00 -2.60,
PLING_QUERY 1.39) 
==============================

How can be sure bayes filter are working correctly or reset that filter ?

Thanks a lot.

Well, If you start feeding them to your Bayesian datbase it should learn
quickly.

I noticed more dutch spam over a week ago with some customers. Well not
actually dutch. It was just english spam fed through some lame translator
program.
