RE: [SAtalk] Using SpamAssassin if you don't own the mail server ?

I think you have not totaly understood what SA does or how it does it. The idea that you can just sample the mail and tell if it is spam is not a design goal of SpamAssassin. SA was designed to work on an entire message as far as I can tell any how. If I'm wrong here I'm sure someone will corr

Gentlebeings... you are all on high-speed links and you're thinking "set up your own POP server..." As though that were no problem. And no, it's not that I don't know just how to do just that. But my particular circumstances preclude that approach. In effect I need to (doing the entire job non

Oops, that wasn't too clear... let me clean up the text a bit here Here's my problem. We use an external ISP to handle our mail, and of course we are getting pummeled with spam so fast that the mailbox can fill up within hours. We use a different ISP to handle the web-site and can se

[SAtalk] Using SpamAssassin if you don't own the mail server ?

Here's my problem. We use an external ISP to handle our mail, and of course we are getting pummeled with spam so fast that the mailbox can fill up within hours. We use a different ISP to handle the web-site and can set up programs on that. What I want to do, unless it has already been done, is

[SAtalk] Strangely bad call

I had sent a question form to a company that manufactures ventilating equipment, and the reply was caught as spam.  I've included only a small portion of the pdf attachment that probably set the CASHCASHCASH, but I noticed no consecutive dollar signs.  As far as I can tell, there is *nothing* that

First, I apologize in advance for sending this message to the wrong place. If this list is also the wrong place, I apologize again. What happened is I noticed that this attached message was filtered as spam. That's fine; it does sorta look like spam. But then I noticed that spamassassin detect
