More is getting thru SpamAssassin (SA) lately too. The spammers are figuring out how to avoid SA's patterns. They are probably doing the same for Spambouncer. Adding Bayesian filtering, either SA's or some other package, helps, but requires maintenance of the spam and ham (non-spam) samples. I have a setup with shared IMAP folders for false positives and false negatives. Once an hour a cron job runs to feed the corrections back into the Bayesian databases. SA is a real CPU and memory hog. I estimate a 266MHz Pentium as a minimum. It absolutely choked a 133MHz 486 with 64MB RAM.
