Set to 0 you'll get a lot of false positives in your moderation queue. Setting your spam level to 0 with the default rules is insanely aggressive, 3 or 4 is very aggressive.

It would also be completely meaningless. We're essentially trying to use an email utility for something it wasn't quite designed for. Also, not seeing the recipient is normal if you are speaking to spamd directly as we do. SpamAssassin apparently logs whatever is in the RCPT TO: line, and we have no such thing. I did place a To: header in what I send to SA, but it's apparently not paying it much attention. At the moment it's nothing to worry about. What I'm more interested in is whether any rules fired and whether spam was correctly identified. Training comes later. :) I've been talking with one of the SpamAssassin developers and while there's something in the works, I don't really have any details (or code!) to give you right now. In the meantime I work with what I've got... Chris, it sounds like a problem with your WP installation. You didn't say what version you're running? Send me email and I'll try to work out whatever is going on. In the meantime be sure you ran the /wp-admin/upgrade.php script...

Clean install of WP but an import of an old database. Any ideas? When i leave a message i get the following php errors:

Warning: Unknown modifier ‘C’ in /home/ceejayce/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1355

Eventually the modifier changes to ‘H’ then back to ‘C’. Clean install of WP but an import of an old database. Any ideas?

It logs: Jan 4 12:39:10 linux spamd[14552]: checking message (unknown) for (unknown):99. Any way to fix this? Would be nice if the 'to' address could be configured, so bayes data can be built.
