[Techtalk] filtering spam with spamassassin

[showercurtain]

The organisation I volunteer at uses spamassassin 2.4x with postfix,
and they're looking at ways to improve spam filtering.  Spamassassin
is used for the whole network, which has about 100 users.  The
spam-score was set to 6.5 and the problem is that many spam mails
have a score ranging from 5 to 6. As a result, they aren't
re-directed to the spam folder. 

Apart from lowering the spam score (which I did today) and using the
latest version of spamassassin, is there anything else we can do to
utilise spam assassin more effectively?   

Some people suggested using the MAPS RBL service in addition to
spamassassin but I'm not sure if this is necessary. What do other
linuxchix members think of this?
