Spamassassin still works well against most spams, but lately I have been getting spams which only set off the HTML_MESSAGE filter or maybe the NORMAL_HTTP_TO_IP filter once in a while. I use pine, and all that will be visible is a line of words as described in the article, which looks something like this:

Other than that junk, nothing else is visible in pine. Spamassassin is supposed to automatically feed a bayesian filter. Each time one of these spams slips through, I manually feed it to the Bayesian filter. I have been doing this for some time and it rarely seems to be catching the spam. I am getting more and more of these, so if slashdot readers have advice on bringing spamassassin back up to speed I would appreciate it. It is still much better with spamassassin than without but it is not as good as it was.
