My domain name, website and email is all hosted by namecheap.com. Their 
email  is run on apache storing email in sqlite database and running 
spamassassin under apache. They provide a cpanel menu system for me to 
customize my hosted world. I do not have direct access to their servers 
/root. This means I have no way to perform the tasks talked about by  
above posts.  The basic default spamassassin rules have cut the spam by 
80%. But was still getting spam from china and Korea and spam in 
languages other then English. I had namecheap tech support enable the 
following options for my hosted email system.
Changed* required_score* from 5 to 3.  This stopped 15% of the spam that 
was still getting through. Then enabled the following tests,
*ok_languages  en
**blacklist_from   *.cn   *to kill all email from China*
**blacklist_from   *.ke  *to kill all email from Korea*
**blacklist_from    *@beawindhog.com   *to kill all email from that 
domain name that I posted about
*score CHARSET_FARAWAY_HEADER    3.1*
*score UNWANTED_LANGUAGE_BODY   5.1    *both of these options kill email 
not in English language.*
*
Since this was enabled I have not had any spam get through.

My thanks goes out to all who replied.
