--As of February 19, 2014 9:52:57 AM +0800, Randy Bush is alleged to have said:
in the last 3-4 days, a *massive* amount of spam is making it past spamassassin to my users and to me. see appended for example. not all has dkim. clue?
--As for the rest, it is mine.The spamassassin list has been tracking an issue where a new rule made it out of the testbox accidentally, which lowers scores on a lot of spam. It wasn't in the sample you provided, but the rule name is BAYES_999 - it catches mail that the bayes filter thinks is 99.9-100% sure to be spam. As it got promoted prematurely, it's showing with a score of 1.0. (The default.) It's probably a part of your problem.
A fix should be in the rules update today or tomorrow - or you can rescore it to the same as BAYES_99 (someplace in the 3 range by default, I believe). That's what used to catch that mail: it used to mean 99-100%, and now means 99-99.9%.
