How does the -# filters work? do those get looked at first?
Runbox filter order values go from -99 to 999. With -99 as the highest/first filters and 999 as the lowest/last filters. If you have multiple filters of the same order value they are processed in the order the entries were defined. Basically, just look at your filter list and go from the top to the bottom.

SpamAssassin has been missing more and more spams lately. But I can see why they are being missed. Many of them for me are very small text only messages with the spam messages buied in the middle of random words or full paragraphs of unrelated text. It's hard for a program to flag these as spam and they apparently haven't been reported to the traditional blacklists (at least SpamAssassin didn't show that in the scoring).
