I had the same.
Via Exim's system filter, everything ajudged as being spam is logged to
a dedicated logfile and all so called spam mail is saved to a "spam"
directory via appendfile. And can be reclaimed and redirected, if
necessary.
By watching the logs, it's possible to eliminate "whitelist" senders.
For me, for example, Spamassassin classed Sophos's IDE notification as
spam. And missed out on a couple of other spammers.
However, it's possible to put your own rules into
~/.spamassassin/user_prefs or /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf .
For me, Spamassassin has saved so much agro, that it's been more than
worth the trouble to figure this all out. It really has got well over
97% of all spam. And what's the real alternative if you're on a mail
feed?
