SpamAssassin & MX Gateway Server

2006-09-30 Thread Russ B.
I have a unique but interesting problem: I have a farm of servers that use Sendmail/ProcMail/SpamAssassin. Due to their very heavy loads and my custom rules, I have built a dual-proc-dual-core FBSD AMD64 bit OS server to do nothing but my major spam knockdowns and processing to send back to the S

RBL Lists in SA 3.1

2006-02-28 Thread Russ B.
I'm using the latest SpamAssassin, and I was wondering if there was a list of all the RBL's that SpamAssassin checks if you have "skip_rbl_checks 0" Why? Well, my servers are darn busy and my scantimes are high causing my load averages to sometimes get over 25 (my stop-receiving mail load point)

I'm upgrading my existing server farm from SpamAss 3.0.x to 3.1.0... all is fine except Bayes. Identical setup, no pathing changes, same local.cf file - everything... but bayes isn't working. Here are my bayes setups in my local.cf: use_bayes 1 use_bayes_rules 1 bayes_auto_learn 1 bayes_auto_lea
