Although pythonfilter and RBL blocking are working fine we sometimes having customers complaining - not very nicely - about too much spam.

There's lots that you can do to improve spamassassin's performance. Most notably, make sure the perl's Net::DNS module is installed, so that it can do RBL tests, and consider increasing the score of some of those RBLs. Although you may not trust all of them enough to use them to outright "BLOCK" messages, they can be a good source of data for spamassassin.

Consider adding pyzor to your system, so that spamassassin can benefit from its content checks.

Also make sure that you use the sa-update script to refresh your test definitions periodically.

Spamassassin isn't the best spam filtering software that I've ever used, but configured properly it can be very good.

There are lines like "New message for x@y.com" in the log; we could count them. Spamassassin issues lines like "Identified spam" .. Could we have log lines like "message for x@y.com rejected by <filter>" where <filter> would be SPF, blacklist, clamav ??

Yeah, that should be possible. I'll try to patch something up for you to test in the next day or two. I've been very busy, having recently taken up a new job.
