[TriLUG] Re: Spamassassin "failing" as of late

[Paul G. Szabady]

OK, so I took your advice and wiped my bayes_* files from
$HOME/.spamassassin.  Within a about an hour, I rec'd 4 messages that were
NOT marked as spam.  I took one of them and ran it through spamassassin
manually (-t), and it does believe it to be spam.  Any idea as to why it
didn't mark it originally?  I've attached the output if you have a moment
to peek at it.
