I'm sure that you occassionally get real mail tagged as spam in SA. To fight this I go through my spam box by hand, which is annoying. To help, I've figured out how to put the spam score in the subject, so you can get a huerestic about how spammy the email is. The line is: rewrite_header Subject [_SCORE_]and that goes in your spamassassin user_prefs (~/.spamassassin/user_prefs). Your spam should come out looking like this: Subject: [11.7] Public Relations Conference for Nonprofits This is nice because you can sort your spam directory by subject, and instantly find all the "near miss" spam.
