Am I understanding this correctly? If I translate this, you want people to give you examples of spam that will get through a spam filter and/or cause said filter to develop false positives, score skewing, or other undesirable phenomena? – Avery Payne Jul 25 '09 at 07:27

Is the bit of my .procmailrc that actually catches spam. My spam assassin user_prefs then looks something like this.
ok_locales en
use_bayes 1
bayes_min_ham_num 100
bayes_min_spam_num 100
bayes_ignore_header X-Bogosity
bayes_ignore_header X-Spam-Flag
bayes_ignore_header X-Spam-Status
You'll probably want to toggle ok_locales for where you live, and this relies heavily on bayesian filtering, so you'll need to feed your filters regularly with something along the lines of
sa-learn --showdots --spam --file ~/Maildir/.spam/cur
sa-learn --showdots --spam --file ~/Maildir/.inbox/cur
