Also, I'd strongly recommend training SA's Bayesian analysis, using the
sa-learn program. SpamAssassin won't use Bayesian analysis until it has
learnt 200 good ("ham") e-mails and 200 spams.

Bayesian analysis continues to be a *very* good way of analysing e-mail,
in my experience.

Hope this helps,

James.
