Many thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, they forward all their mail onto a second SMTP server - Exchange!! So they're not holding the mail in mbox format.
Any suggestions given this quirk?
You need to do 3 or 4 things,
First off, you should perhaps only ditch mail with a score about 10 in spamassassin, just to make sure that you are getting no false positives. Then you want to send all spam on to the end user with a score between 4-10 with a big subject of "POSSIBLE SPAM" or whatever so that they can sort or filter this mail themselves. Then you want to create 2 accounts on the Exchange server, notspam@ and spam@ so that people can forward mail to these accounts which then bounces them back into the mail system at the beginning, notspam@ forwards to something that removes the spamassassin tagging and learns the mail as ham and obviously the other one just learns that it is spam and ditches the mail.
Oh, and I guess that spamassassin is picking up on emails from japan because they are written in kanji or something? so giving them a higher spamassassin score, if you look at the tests that picked up on if the mail is spam or not you could configure spamassassin to give a lower score for these tags.
