Did the cop take a sick leave or something? I am getting most of the spam through today. In the morning I checked my mail, and had about 10 spam message overnight, then during the day it keeps coming and coming... Mostly russian spam.

You might want to increase your number of checked blocklists/blacklists and/or reduce your SpamAssassin Limit.

Currently all networks are enabled. spam assasin is at level 5. It's recommended to keep it at 5. I'll try setting this to 4, but it's risky. I am pretty sure I set it to 4 before, but checking now it's 5 again. I probably didn't like it and set it to 5.

Besides can Spamassasin work with Russian language anyways?

Most of the spam that gets through is in Russian. Often it comes in batchres of 2-3 emails at a time. Sometimes it's same email, sometimes 3 different ones, but all in one minute.

It does work with Chinese, so it could work with Russian.

(note that SA looks at various language-independent things such as the URLs of SpamAdvertised sites)

Many of the Cyrillic (presumably Russian) spam messages I see don't even have a URL in them, they just have addresses and phone numbers. :(

Yes, you are right! This is a crazy new way of spamming. It pisses me off. I don't even live in Russia, and they are advertising all kinds crap stuff. Like

- Food deliveries

- Taxi services

- Politians

- the classic and famous "Learn American English Center"

- etc...

The emails are usually very clean - no images, not URLs, no spammy techniques. Just text. So I'd guess it'd be pretty hard to track that kind of spam.
