mode, "several different versions" of ifspamh [1], q
How-doo!
... Awrighty ... let's keep it a bit simpler... ;-)
I've changed how spamassassin is started - instead of using:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/spamassassin start
I have now created a run file using qmail's tcpserver & friends, here:
/service/smtpd/run
and this file contains:

We have all posted stats that prove that over 50% of email is spam. Now that
we can tag or block (to user), it doesn't stop the traffic. I still have 50%
