[SAtalk] Reporting spam question

2002-05-12 Thread Jim Scott
1. Since I am now using spamassassin and it is now putting all the messages tagged as spam in a folder called caught spam. How can I then use the spamassassin -r to report all messages in that mbox file? I assume that if I use spamassassin -r < caughtspam it will report it all as one big message?

Actually, it LOOKS like SpamAssassin is working. I'm getting incoming spam properly identified. So, maybe it runs without gdbm even being there. One curious thing, though: I have not yet created a .forward file. Can it run without that? It seems to be running... Thanks! Harold dman wrote: > O

I think the patch which does wrapping of long header lines for some of the headers just got added in recently. Short lines probably still don't wrap, so you'll only see it when the message has triggered lots of rules. Marc MERLIN wrote: MM> It's interesting that this only happened one to me wit
