Let me rephrase this, since it seems to have raised Aaron's 
hackles. I'm not condeming spamassassin. I'm saying I am not 
competent to judge spamassassin, because I haven't taken the 
time to learn how it works, or how to adjust the parameters by 
which if judges what is/isn't spam. 

The simple point I made in my first message was that the default 
configuration set up by kmail to pipe mail through spamassassin 
was letting more spam through then filtering through spambayes 
was - that's it - just a comparison of a default, unaltered, 
install. No judgement intended about spamassassin - if my post's 
wording implied otherwise, then, my words didn't convey what I 
was trying to say ---
