I am running stable and getting spamassassin from testing or unstable requires a considerable upgrade of other packages. I will use Spamassassin from stable at least for now. There is so much information out there that I hope I have done the right thing. I run spamd/spamc with OPTIONS="-F 0" in /etc/default/spamd.conf. I have changed /etc/exim.conf to have a Spamassassin stanza in the Transports configuration and the Directors configuration. Mostly a cut&paste from : http://dman.ddts.net/~dman/config_docs/exim3_spamassassin.html As far as I can tell everything works: all messages now have extra headers and in case of spam a report gets added to the top of the message. I have some further questions. Is this setup reasonably sane? I am not sure I understand the security implication of using spamd. Ofcourse at the moment all messages still arrive at their usual destination. I want to move all spam to a seperate folder and have the ability to have future mail from certain destinations not be tagged as spam. Is using procmail recipes a flexible and easy way of doing this? I will look around for procmail information, but pointers to relevant information would be appreciated. Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
