Re: [SAtalk] Spammers appear otherwise detained

I've noticed that too, the problem is that over the last two days I got more virus emails in a couple of hours than I was getting spams in a whole day (and the virus messages were bigger), never got infected though. I can't believe that I'm actually looking forward to going back to plain old sp

Didn't get any response to this problem (the "I Hate Spamassassin" thread got me jealous). Can anyone help? While I've had SA working well on my Linux box for a while, today I decided to upgrade it to 2.55 and add Razor 2 - it didn't go well... I went through the Razor 2 install procedure and make
