Hi
I'm running SA v 2.50 on RH 8. Yesterday, my filter suddenly reported
failure to connect to spamd. I looked, and spamd had vanished.
I restarted it, and things continued.
This happened a couple of months ago, and I could find no trace of why it
had happened. This time, I have an extract from t

Actually, Tom's dead right.

Hi,
Using SpamAssassin, I want to whitelist every email address in the
LDAP directory address book our mail clients (Mozilla and Netscape)
use, without having a separate "whitelist_from" hard-wired into the
SpamAssassin config file.
So I've hacked some changes to SpamAssassin 2.55 so it can query

Hi,
If auto-learn is on (default setting), is there any point in putting
correctly identified spam and ham through sa-learn? Is the only use for

The trick we use here for users who don't want their spam is to pipe it, via
a maildrop script, into the Trash folder of their account on our IMAP
server.
Benefits:
1: They can check it via web mail, or via their client if they're IMAP4
users.
2: It gets autodeleted from the Trash folder after a w

Thanks - looks like a good idea. I use slrn as a newsreader - offhand, any
idea how I could dump a whole mailbox into news.admin.

Hey Folks,
I have a few questions regarding SpamAssassin's SQL preference support...
First of all, is there any particular reason why "only local scores,
whitelist_from(s), required_hits, and auto_report_threshold" are recognized
options that may be stored in a database for later retrieval (altho

Would you mind terribly showing me how you did that? Is it in

In local.cf:
score BASE64_ENC_TEXT 3.9
If you do it to the actual rule, your changes will be lost, should you

two days hours old (versus the developer tree) due to worsening CVS

Oops, that should have read "two days old" or "40 hours old". :-)

I've seen comments like that on a couple of lists - what is going on
with SourceForge? Is it a temporary problem, or are they folding?

Curious if anyone has tried this. It's probably wide open to a DoS...
