[({Spam?})] FH_DATE_PAST_20XX 3.38

[dcurtis at sbschools.net]

No disrespect taken. I find it very difficult learning all I need to
learn to run Linux server without adding all the things needed to keep
mailscanner functional. It feels like I am constantly having to adjust
things because of package updates and don't always remember what was
done in the past for the package I am having to make changes for.

I mean no disrespect, just in case. I didn't want to sound pedantic - in
fact, I myself work on the assumption that my systems work *in spite of*
my tinkering rather than *because of it* ;-)

I like assuming I'm not doing things the most efficient way all the
time. Keeps me looking for new ways to do it better... And the
occasional pleasant surprise when I find out it *is* the most efficient
way for a particular situation is gratifying, I must admit.

I never assumed I was doing it right for five years but I now know how
much more wrong I was ;-)

He may need some time.  Remember, he assumes he's been doing it right
for five years.

Ok, a last hint. I didn't look at your pastebin log before. Now I did.
Two seconds. This shows that (as I already told you!) your SA is
*seriously* misconfigured. 

80.[14922] dbg: config: using "/etc/mail/spamassassin" for site rules
dir 81.[14922] dbg: config: read file
/etc/mail/spamassassin/10_default_prefs.cf
82.[14922] dbg: config: read file
/etc/mail/spamassassin/20_advance_fee.cf
..
168.[14922] dbg: config: read file
/etc/mail/spamassassin/weeds_2_cf_sare_sa-update_dostech_net.cf

None (almost none) of these files belong there. And one of the files is
overscoring your custom score. I could tell you which, but I'm sure
you'll find it by yourself. Or you just remove all of them (except for
local.cf and mailscanner.cf and any files you wrote yourself) as they
don't belong there!

You need to read up on how to use SA and how it works. Please.
