Thanks to everyone for their help.  You can feel free
to turn off the forwarding now.  :)

I visited <a  rel="nofollow" href="http://www.rulesemporium.com/";>http://www.rulesemporium.com/</a> and downloaded
all their rules, and dropped them in
/etc/mail/spamassassin.  I then followed the steps at 
<a  rel="nofollow" href="http://www.stearns.org/doc/spamassassin-setup.current.html";>http://www.stearns.org/doc/spamassassin-setup.current.html</a>
to configure the spamtrap and hamtrap users.

I ran spamassassin -d --lint to check for any typos,
then sent the HUP signal to spamd.  Voila! 99.24% of
spam caught.

Thanks again

Jonathan Glass

&gt; Yes!  I have a &quot;spam at ibb.gatech.edu&quot; mail user, and
&gt; all email sent there automatically gets passed to
&gt; 'sa-learn --spam' (along w/a few more options). 
&gt; Check
&gt; out the site-wide option.  I configured a spam user
&gt; and stored all the bayesian stuff under it's
&gt; .spamassassin folder.
&gt; 
&gt; BTW, since (4:30) I added this account and some of
&gt; the
&gt; rules from <a  rel="nofollow" href="http://www.rulesemporium.com/";>http://www.rulesemporium.com/</a>, I've
&gt; received 80 spam messages, and only 3 have slipped
&gt; through.
&gt; 
&gt; Thanks

&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Since my last email, I've received about 400
&gt; &gt; spam, and
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; still about 50% are getting through the
&gt; filters.
&gt; &gt;  I
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; just added some more rules, and will let you
&gt; &gt; know how
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; it goes the rest of the evening and weekend.
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; 
&gt; &gt; &gt; Sounds like a normal 4-5 hours around here :)
&gt; &gt; &gt; 
&gt; &gt; &gt; Seriously, the volume that SA was letting
&gt; through
&gt; &gt; is why I fought my way
&gt; &gt; &gt; through the DSPAM setup. The quarantine was
&gt; worth
&gt; &gt; the time I spent
&gt; &gt; &gt; getting it going. It was getting to be more
&gt; &gt; maintenance time that I
&gt; &gt; &gt; could afford to keep tweaking the SA rules. The
&gt; &gt; statistics rules that
&gt; &gt; &gt; DSPAM uses seem to be very effective and MUCH
&gt; less
&gt; &gt; of a hassle to
&gt; &gt; &gt; maintain. It's really good for my
&gt; less-technically
&gt; &gt; inclined clients.
&gt; &gt; &gt; They just look at a web page for oops and send
&gt; &gt; spam that slipped through
&gt; &gt; &gt; to a special address. It has really solve some
&gt; &gt; issues for a client who
&gt; &gt; &gt; was getting his email mirrored to his
&gt; blackberry.
&gt; &gt; About once a week the
&gt; &gt; &gt; spam flood that SA was missing would lock his
&gt; &gt; blackberry account for
&gt; &gt; &gt; being too full. He had no way of deleting the
&gt; crap
&gt; &gt; from the holding
&gt; &gt; &gt; spool with out a browser. Now, he may have some
&gt; &gt; stuff marked as spam and
&gt; &gt; &gt; dropped in quarantine by mistake, but all the
&gt; good
&gt; &gt; stuff he's seen gets
&gt; &gt; &gt; through and once he checks the DSPAM quarantine,
&gt; &gt; the new, good stuff
&gt; &gt; &gt; does as well.
&gt; &gt; &gt; 
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Thanks

&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Thanks all!  In the last 10 hours, I've
&gt; &gt; received a
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; little over 250 spam messages, and SA caught
&gt; &gt; 130 and
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; let 120 through.  I guess I need to do a
&gt; &gt; little more
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; tweaking.
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; 
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Would you guys mind leaving that forwarding
&gt; on
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; through
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Monday?  That'll give me time to tinker this
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; weekend.
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
