right, yes, that's fine then. I sometimes think we are two years ago ;-)

Use Mailwatch to checks the Rule Hits. Go to Reports/Spamassassin Rule Hits.
I can't see a reason that the spamcop RBL rule stop all processing. Unless you use
short-circuiting and use this rule as short-circuit rule.

Well, I suppose you didn't do "sa-learn --dump magic" before this. It would have
shown you that you have no ham. That symptom would be normal for a freshly started
Bayes DB that gets trained only with autolearning, but you seem to have it running
much longer? This would then indicate that your autolearning for ham is non-existent
because your ham isn't scoring low enough - which should not happen.
What's the dump magic output now?
