Report from the spam field

There is no question that spammers are getting better at this. I've been 
watching one address that seems to be a spam magnet.  I changed the 
score for RP_MATCHES_RCVD to -0.001. This vastly improved spam catching 
and so far  no ham has been misclassified. Even with that, some spam 
squeaks by. In this domain, I set the spam threshold in maia at 1.85. 
This particular email scored 1.19. The only spamassassin rule that was 
activated was the RP_MATCHES_RCVD. It got a BAYES_50 of 1.2. That's it. 
This is typical of the spam I just can't kill. The message in question 
was plain text  with the provocative subject of "Fulfill a Secret 
Fantasy. Proposal ends 07/16/15" Internal text referred to meeting 
married women who want to play around.

I am amazed that Bayes was the only triggered spamassassin feature.

I'm not complaining yet. The tiny number of spam messages is easy to 
handle. But I do want to point out that Bayes is becoming more and more 
important to me.

Thanks,
Bob
