I too have SA running on my FC3/Postfix server, and it only picks out the
occasional post, so I'm not complaining (yet!)

First thing I did though was make sure it did not autolearn, and set up a
HAM and SPAM alias to send identified e-mails to for SA to learn from...

I have 31 mails in the HAM box and 1100+ in the SPAM box... (I also have
SPF and Grey-listing on, which catches a good amount of spam, as do the
sorbs and monkey lists)
