[Mimedefang] Additional Spamassassin Rules

[EKB]

I have been running mimedefang/spamassassin/clamd on my servers
for about six months.  Recently, I added a "front end" server with
quite a bit more horsepower to offload the load from my main servers.
With the extra horsepower, I have been experimenting with ways to
tighten our configuration and get a higher percentage hit on incoming
spam.  

- From reading the archives, I found reference to a link which I have 
found useful and I want to make sure that others in the same position
as myself know of its existance.

http://www.merchantsoverseas.com/wwwroot/gorilla/sa_rules.htm

This site provides several spamassassin rule bundles (filename.cf) that
can be downloaded and dropped directly into /etc/mail/spamassassin where
they will be used by spamassassin the next time is the process is
restarted.

I am currently using:  
backhair.cf  
bigevil.cf  
nov2rules.cf  
oct03_headers.cf  
oct03_rules.cf  
popcornonly.cf  
weedsonly.cf

My spam positive hit rate immediatly increased when I added the new
rules and I have seen no negative impact from their use.

Because some of us on the list are not as programming capable as others,
I would appreciate it if others could provide tips like this on the 
list.  I benefit greatly from the experience of others on the list and
probably could not be running the system I have without their input
and suggestions.

Thank You all
