2008-09-14 Thread Michael Hutchinson
Hello, I really don't see how Spamassassin is not "up to par", considering many high end Net App's use Spamassassin and promote corporate level products that include it. Maybe it needs to be configured correctly? In fact, I don't think I've seen any real rival to Spamassassin - except, maybe,

RE: permissions on /root/.spamassassin folder

2008-10-14 Thread Michael Hutchinson
y is that you want to access root's Spamassassin files as the "postfix" user. You can change the permissions on the files, but I don't recommend that - there must be another way to achieve the desired result. (Perhaps user grouping could have something to do with it) - but this is now turning into a postfix question. Cheers, Michael Hutchinson Manux Solutions Ltd
