2002-01-26 Thread dman
A while ago I mentioned a spam message that SA didn't catch. In particular that message had asterisks in the Date: header. Just now a different spam message arrived with the same characteristic, and some other interesting ones as well. A selection of the headers is : Date: Thu, 15 Nov 01 19:2

Hi, Just finished getting SpamAssassin/Razor working with Courier-MTA, everything seems to work okay, except my virtual hosting setup seems to cause problems with user-preferences and the whitelist facility. My maildirs are stored in /mail///Maildir, and are all owned by the 'mail' user/group. I
