Spam starting to slip in...

That will doubtless help, but I have similar issues with 3.1.1.

 

This bug isn't helping:

 

Mass-check generating nightly rules updates with 0 scores for rules with
dependencies:

I'd look at upgrading to 3.3.1 of SA and of course make sure you run
SA-update regularly.

For ages MailScanner and spamassassin have been doing a fantastic job
and we've had almost no spam at all. However, recently I've noticed a
slow but steady increase in spam that seems to be slipping past with a
very low score. I'm still using some of the old sare rulesets (rulesets
listed below) as they seem to be catching spam although the number these
days seems to be dropping off apart from the adult one which is still
quite effective. Could these be interfering with the standard rulesets
in the version of SA installed (3.2.5 and perl 5.8.8)?

 

Rulesets

70_sare_adult.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net

70_sare_bayes_poison_nxm.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net

70_sare_header.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net

70_sare_obfu.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net

70_sare_specific.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net

70_sare_unsub.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net

70_sare_uri0.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net

70_sare_uri1.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net

99_FVGT_Tripwire.cf.sare.sa-update.dostech.net

sought.rules.yerp.org

 

We also use spamhaus, spamcop,m barracuda and abuseat blacklists in the
MTA. MS is 4.79.11, and I've the KAM rulesets and ScamNailer 2.09 and
clamav with the sanesecurity addins.

 

Are there any tricks I'm missing on this setup?

 

Jason
