I'm curious about something -- can you actually create a recipe in
procmail to filter emails with X-Spam-Status at 20 or more to send emails
directly to /dev/null?
If so, what would the recipe be?
And what exactly is the difference between 'probably-spam' and
'definitely-spam' thresholds?
Thanks
Hi guys:
lore@vampire:/dev$ ls -al null

This is Slackware; no idea why it happened. I deleted the file and
followed my friend's:
mknod /dev/null c 1 9
chmod a+w /dev/null
and now it works... hmm.
Thanks everyone,

Everything seems to look okay except for the very end where it complains

I edited something in local.cf today and tried to restart spamd, but to no

I believe SpamAssassin is capable of running razor on its own when Razor
properly compiled and working. It's part of the many tests it uses.
My spamc automatically throws each email against razor's database, and
gives it some extra points when it sees that it is in the database. So

I thought the ORBZ author was sued due to his "attacks" on a mailserver
run by the City, and not so much because his service contained blacklists?
That's what I gleaned from

that seems like a reasonable 'update' to SpamAssassin so I would hope to
see that check commented out in a future release.

Well there you go! An real-life example of the best of both worlds. :)
Sounds like a great set-up; are you filtering all mail through procmail
first -> spamassassin?
I'm curious as to what ISPs would use for that purpose...

You're right, sorry. I was referring to whitelist_to which is only a -6.0

It won't guarantee not tagging the email, but it does help. Something has
got to be seriously wrong with the email if you were getting 20.3 without

I had the same problem until I went and set it to /var/mail/caughtspam
instead of just caughtspam.
Then it worked.

However, I've still not figured out how to get it to bounce at the SMTP

Hey Duncan:
Thanks for the tip! It works fine. Now to figure out how to get the
emails bounced right away (or simply rejected at the SMTP level)

Okay, this may seem like a really stupid suggestion, but I made the same
mistake a few times when I first set up SpamAssassin.
Did you kill and restart `spamd' when you made modifications to your
local.cf?

I think you should have it like such:
:0fw
| spamc
:0e
{
EXITCODE=$?
}
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
/path/to/spamfile
You left out the exit code part. (By the way, what I pasted above is what
I use).
