For months, I’ve laughed in the face of spam. I’ve bared my email address in public, daring the spammers to come and find me. "Let the spam flow," I cried, for I was prepared. I had SpamAssassin on my side.
In the last 5 months, SpamAssassin has caught over 60MB of spam wih nary a false positive or spam slipping through. But now chinks have appeared in my armor. In the last half-hour, four spams have slipped through. Each one was scored just under the five points required in order for a message to be tagged as spam.
