For those few that care SAPP v1.2 is working and stable. The main new feature is that it skips messages over a variable size (prevents timeouts) AND a Readme to explain (badly) how to use it. Get it here http://nickdafish.com/SAPP-Light.Zip For those of you who don't know what it is... SAPP is a

I don't realy use any of the apps that are being talked about here (Apart from SA) but something occured to me that may be irrelevent but Most of the porn I intercepted as a School admin was sent as attachments. There are two things that spring from this... 1) I think spamc doesn't process bi

RE: [SAtalk] RFC: Running SpamAssassin on Win32 + More about POP Proxys

2002-04-16 Thread Nick Fisher
I think Win32 should realy be sorted out somewhat. There should be no real reason SA shouldn't work nativly on Win32, It just requires work. I will happily take some of it on next month if there is any of it I can do. On annother note I re-wrote my old POP Proxy (SAPP) last night. I'm alot better

I think his rant is realy directed at people who setup SA to automatically reject/delete mail that hits the threshold score. He doesn't seem to realise that's not the way your supposed to do it. I might point out that I am the postmaster for a domain that sends out 100s of thousands of emails a we

Oh dear. Annother so called expert blaming the tools rather than the workmen. If someone has installed SA without propper whitelists and consideration real mail does get blocked. Duh! Don't blame SA for something that an admin did. When I first installed SA all sorts of things were incorrectly tag

RE: [SAtalk] Using SpamAssassin if you don't own the mail server ?

2002-04-03 Thread Nick Fisher
I think you have not totaly understood what SA does or how it does it. The idea that you can just sample the mail and tell if it is spam is not a design goal of SpamAssassin. SA was designed to work on an entire message as far as I can tell any how. If I'm wrong here I'm sure someone will corr

I don't know about anyone else but the only time the word "Lolita(s)" is used in my mail it's spam. I noticed this because some lolita spam has been getting through SA with a score of 1 or 2. I say let's give lolita it's own little high scoring rule. Nick _
