Yes.. the header is there. Just wanted to make sure. And if they are
defaults and used automatically then cool.



----------------------------------------------------------------------
Could someone tell me why this bounced? This didn't start until I
installed spamassassin. This is what I sent and it did arrive at the
list, but I also got a bounce back? I'd like to fix it, just can't find
out where to look or what's doing it.

in /usr/share/spamassasin/

There are a lot of files.
10_misc.cf          25_body_tests_es.cf  40_spam_phrases.cf
20_anti_ratware.cf  25_body_tests_pl.cf  50_scores.cf
20_body_tests.cf    25_head_tests_es.cf  60_whitelist.cf

20_ratware.cf       30_text_fr.cf        user_prefs.template
20_uri_tests.cf     30_text_pl.cf


Do I need to? or Should I? Copy those files into my /etc/spamassassin
folder?

I've finally got my spamassassin working to the point that I'm actually
recieving my mail, even with it running. But I don't think it's
currently filtering.

All that I currently have in /etc/spamassassin is: local.cf

# This is the right place to customize your installation of SpamAssassin.
# See 'perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf' for details of what can be
# tweaked.

Any other suggestions would be helpful also.
Just trying to learn how this all works and get it setup. (want to do
this before I start getting important emails.
