Hello All.

Recently I have been bombed with spam to a point that SpamAssassin
obviously no longer copes, even though I keep training it.
I have therefore resorted to other spam detectors, namely bogofilter and qsf.
Bogofilter is good, and catches some 80% of what SA lets thru. Qsf is even
better, to the point that it has to be trained more with ham than with
spam.

My solution was therefore easy: anything not already marked by SA and
marked both by bogofilter and QSF goes to /dev/null, and anything marked by
one of the three only goes to SPAM.

I then sort SPAM manually and mail goes to SPAM2 or HAM and is re-fed to
the three spamfilters for training.

This solution has already reduced my spam level A LOT :-).

But I am now getting a lot of false positive, ie mail sent to SPAM for
sorting, when NONE of the spam filter has marked it as spam. I have checked
those legitimate messages: NOTHING in the header indicates spam whatsoever.

This means that for some reason procmail must be confused.

Hence my question: can anybody spot anything wrong with the following
.procmailrc file:
