Hey guys,
I saw the incoming mail and it was tagged as a spam. What's the next thing
that I should do then?
This is slick.
Thanks.

Can some test if my spam assassin is able to detect an email spam?
Also, am I right that by default install, spam assassin is already able to
distinguish spam? It's because, I haven't modified any configuration yet. I
could hardly find a good documentation on what files to modify.
Thanks.

Hey, I just posted it because I thought it would be amusing.

Except that both of the SPAMs came from very similar IP addresses. I
really doubt that *both* people could make the same mistake and apparently
use the same servers in France.
It is possible that Mr. Bob is subscribed to one of the same lists as you.
If that's the case, he's not spamming...he just has no clue on how to
properly configure his anti-spam filtering software.
I got a number of similar messages from someone on a list to which I'm
subscribed.

This is the second such SPAM I have received, advertising an "Anti-SPAM
filter". Now, who in their right mind is going to use an "anti-spam

A few days ago, someone mentioned graphing stats from spamassassin using
MRTG and others. Well, I got that working, and it's pretty slick.
I was wondering about other non-time-based graphs? In other words I

I think what you are trying to do is let your users customize their
filtering, so I'm going to operate under that assumption and suggest you
look at the spam_level_stars option. It's much easier for most MUA's to handle.
As far as I know there's currently not an option to do what you're asking.
It's a known bug in SpamAssassin 2.42, already fixed in CVS.. see bugzilla
