    It seems like the volume of spam on my server is up about 400% in the last couple weeks. Here's what the headers look like:
    Code:
    X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.2.4 (2008-01-01) on
    	clients1.azwebdesigns.com
    X-Spam-Level: 
    X-Spam-Status: No, score=-87.3 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_50,
    	HTML_FONT_LOW_CONTRAST,HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_08,HTML_MESSAGE,HTML_SHORT_LINK_IMG_1,
    	MIME_HTML_ONLY,RCVD_IN_PBL,RDNS_NONE,URIBL_AB_SURBL,URIBL_BLACK,
    	URIBL_JP_SURBL,URIBL_SBL,URIBL_WS_SURBL,USER_IN_WHITELIST autolearn=no
    	version=3.2.4
    
    How can I filter this?

    adjust the SA configuration so that it gives you the test results as well as which tests returned values.
    Than figure out from there which test scores are out of whack

    It could be bayes poisoning you need to dump your bayes database and also check this rule USER_IN_WHITELIST it could be reversing the score on all the other rules.

    Sounds great! How do I dump the DB? Is: /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf the correct path to adjust SpamAssassin?

    installing webmin from www.webmin.com will probably help you quite a bit with the SA data and configurations.

    Where is the value USER_IN_WHITELIST coming from? I have tried changing my SpamAssasin configuration to no avail, still tons of spam and it is always from a user to that user: from mike to mike

    Thanks for the replies!
