Typically SpamAssassin checks which "locale" (system language) the local
user is configured to use. Based on that it will then replace the text
in the SpamAssassin message with the desired language, provided
SpamAssassin supports this language.

On BlueOnyx the default language locale for all users is English, so
that's why you see the English texts in such emails.

Now there is a (somewhat) dirty work around for this:

Edit the file /etc/init.d/spamassassin as "root". Somewhere at the top
you see this two lines:

# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

Just above that place this line and save the changes:

export LANG="nl_NL.UTF-8"

Then restart SpamAssassin:

/etc/init.d/spamassassin restart

That will - to some degree - fix your problem in the way you want it.
The texts that SpamAssassin substitutes into detected SPAM's will then
be in English *and* Dutch, like in the example below:

Spam detection software, running on the system "5108r.smd.net", has
identified this incoming email as possible spam.  The original message
has been attached to this so you can view it (if it isn't spam) or label
similar future email.  If you have any questions, see
the administrator of that system for details.
