In the meantime, I've attacked the problem from another direction; I submit the spam that makes it past relays.osirusoft.com into one of my boxes to spamcop, and I noticed it was finding a lot of open proxies involved using the monkeys.com list. So I added proxies.relays.monkeys.com to my DNSBL mix, and that seems to have improved matters some - at least, I'm blocking more spam and I >feel< like less is getting through. <http://bluebird.sinauer.com/~morse/spam_chart.htm>
I am beginning to see some blatant spam get by SpamAssassin as well as the DNSBL check. Has anyone implemented one of the bayesian-type filters I've been hearing about on a Cobalt? Does it work for you? How hard was it to set up?
