Hi.
Just recently found out about SA and have spent a little time playing with
it and of course, had some questions.
We have a low-volume mail server (P3-733/256MB, RH7.0/sendmail) and I wanted
to install SA as a selective site-wide option. So the folks that would want
to run it need to opt-

Anyone have a preference for ease of use / clean install / less headaches?

I'm setting up an account on my mail server that will unassassinate
false-positive spam. I plan to have users that received mail tagged
as spam send the message to this account, have the SpamAssassin

Perl regular expressions are a little different from DOS-style file globbing
patterns. The perl way of saying "match anything" is /.*/ not /*/ -- the "*"
means "repeat the previous thing 0 to infinity times" and the "." means "any
character". So /*/ by itself is meaningless and will actually gen
The majority of the mailing lists I'm on (such as SpamAssassin Talk)

that if there is a List-Unsubscribe: line in the headers, it lowers

What I was sugesting was to go with the previous comment about extracting
comments which are designed to obfuscate things by doing this in a
simplified, fast-executing regex, and an actual rule (rawbody type) worth in the
