I think there are some custom cf files that are useful. I have been
running SA for some months now with default config. Results were very
disappointig, only 7 of 10 spams have been identified.
Now I have added
99_sare_adult.cf
99_SARE_Random.cf
antidrug.cf
bigevil.cf
bogus-virus-warnings.cf
drugs_diet.cf
evilnumbers.cf
midevil.cf
sa-blacklist.current.uri.cf
I collected many spam mails into one IMAP folder and trained SA's bayes
mechanism with sa-learn command.
Now SA gets about 99 per cent of the messages.
Don't know how much BigEvil has contributed to this improvement, but you
should give it a try. Just my two cents...
