Re: [SAtalk] Configuration question

and noticed that the tagging configuration is specified twice, once in amavisd.conf, and again in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf. There doesn't seem to be any reason as to why one setting is specified in one place, and and not the other. What is the point of specifying settings in the local.cf,

Hi group, Got SA working, and I want to test it out on only a few users. I have SA set up to run when called from Amavisd, which is called by postfix, which is set up as a relay. Currently it is set up to put a ***SPAM*** tag on every email that is suspicios to every email that passes through i

I'm testing a spam filter using RedHat Linux 9, avavis-new, and Spamassassin. It seems to be working as I'm seeing mail flagged as spam, but I don't see any entries in my maillog from spamassassin, and neither does sa-stats. Logging options will be controlled from amavsid.conf. Add the line:

I'm just talking off the top of my head here, but rather than running words through a spell checker can't you make a linguistic analysis by say, measuring the position of vowels in the word? I'm not sure exactly how you'd measure that, but I'm prepared to bet that some linguist has done resear

Not 100% a spamassassin issue, but I've got a ton of spammers trying any address they possibly can on my domain. Postfix responds to each one with a 'reject: unknown user', but of course spammers don't use their own address and my mail queue gets insanely full (not quite to the point of a denial-

The message that is returned looks something like this: Learned from 0 message(s) (5 message(s) examined) It appears that sa-learn is examining the file but is not learning from the messages. It looks to me that sa-learn is working -- you're just feeding it messages that it's already learnt fro

You still haven't answered how you're calling SA, but I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark and assume you're using amavisd-new. -how reliable the default config files are? Not sure I understand. Reliable in what way? For this sort of setup, you might not need to edit any of the spamassas
