Did you install spamass-milter during your 3.1 install?

are you saying that you block about 1000 spam per day and receive 3000
per day, some of which is spam?

by definition legit mail != SPAM.

what are you using to move the mail to your spamdrop? are you
quarantining the mail in mimedefang? are you pre-sorting to a different
folder using something like procmail? are you just discarding the mail?

we're a little short of useful information here.

for one thing, this still shows it was scanned with version 3.0.3. are
you sure that you properly upgraded to 3.1? make sure that any
pre-existing 3.0.3 installation has been successfully removed.

most importantly, for anyone to provide you any assistance, you'll need
to provide more details about how you have it all installed.

hope this helps (even just a little)
