I don't know what settings affect this but SpamAssassin actually  
catches most of the Japanese and Chinese language spam we get (have  
not seen Korean).  (I have whitelisted a couple of Japan email  
addresses that send us legit email in Japanese but others that are  
not spam do not get flagged that often as spam -- don't ask me how it  
works).
