<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I’m not sure if this is a MailScanner problem or a
SpamAssassin problem, but someone here will at least be able to help me narrow
it down. I am running MailScanner 4.57.6 on Suse Linux 10.1. My MTA
is Postfix 2.3.6 and I’m running SpamAssassin 3.1.7. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The problem I seem to be having is that a lot of spam is
getting through. I’m monitoring it with MailWatch and there are a
lot of messages that are obviously spam that are getting fairly low scores
because they simply aren’t hitting any rules (or at least not very many
rules). However, when I run spamassassin –D –p
/path/to/my/config </path/to/archived/mail, it will almost always come back
hitting tons of rules and scoring very high. Running spamassassin
–D –lint shows that I have a few unresolved dependencies in some of
the SARE rules that I’ve downloaded, but I would think that if that were
causing problems, it would cause problems with running it on the command line
as well. I’ve checked my syslog and there are only two instances of
SpamAssassin timing out and being killed over the past four days. Beyond
that, I’m not even sure where to look. Does anyone have any
suggestions for what may be wrong, or at least how to troubleshoot this problem?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
