Where has all my Spam gone?

I seem to have actually integrated Spamassassin per the WiFi instructions.

But not only am I getting spam with spam weights (going directly into Thunderbird Junk folder), it seems like I am getting less spam all together....

Is Spamassassin dropping some of this on the floor?

Most likely yes.

SA has two settings, one that determined a level where spam will be tagged as spam. And another level which defines where spam will simply be dropped.

Where do I find those settings?

Also it seems that spamd takes a long time to process. Thus my Thunderbird client takes a loooonnnnggg time to send mail. What is spamd doing? How can I find out and work on improving this?

Also I would like to add a Priority header to kept spam to priority low. This is so Outlook Express users have a filter handle. Where can I learn how to do this?
