After 5 days away I checked my email and was shocked to find absolutely none. Very odd. After a mild panic I worked out that procmail had diligently filtered my email into the correct mail folders but Thunderbird was only set up to poll the inbox folder. To get Thunderbird to check subdirectories for new email you have to set the properties for each folder and enable 'check this folder for new messages'. Hopefully in a new version they will add a default action to check all folders.
Spamassassin seems to be doing a good job with the spam filtering. Out of 8 spams, no false positives, 7 had been tagged by pyzor, the remaining spam had lots of silly defects:
4.2 MIME_BOUND_DD_DIGITS Spam tool pattern in MIME boundary
3.1 MSGID_SPAM_CAPS Spam tool Message-Id: (caps variant)
0.1 MIME_HTML_ONLY BODY: Message only has text/html MIME parts
0.7 MIME_HTML_NO_CHARSET RAW: Message text in HTML without charset
1.2 MISSING_MIMEOLE Message has X-MSMail-Priority, but no X-MimeOLE
0.0 FORGED_AOL_TAGS AOL mailers can't send HTML in this format
3.9 RCVD_DOUBLE_IP_SPAM Bulk email fingerprint (double IP) found
1.7 HTML_MIME_NO_HTML_TAG HTML-only message, but there is no HTML tag
4.3 FORGED_MUA_AOL_FROM Forged mail pretending to be from AOL (by From)
1.8 FORGED_AOL_HTML AOL can't send HTML message only
1.1 MIME_HTML_ONLY_MULTI Multipart message only has text/html MIME parts
0.1 MISSING_OUTLOOK_NAME Message looks like Outlook, but isn't
Do the spammers do anything as simple as test their spam against spamassassin? Hope not.
