turns out i had a couple of problems. the lack of Net:DNS was one. Once i had that done SA -D worked so long as my pwd was not the user's home dir. For some reason, if SA found a .spamassassin.cf then it read this file and ignored the common file. <shrug> i am now running version 2.0 and it is working exactly as advertised.
thanks for the help, dean ________________________________________________ Get your own "800" number Voicemail, fax, email, and a lot more http://www.ureach.com/reg/tag ---- On Tue, 15 Jan 2002, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: > > Dean Bishop said: > > > Ok, so i tried using root as the recipient > > and E-mailed the sample-spam.txt to that > > user and got: > > > > X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3 required=5 > > tests=LINE_OF_YELLING,REMOVE_SUBJ > > > > i know that this e-mail should have more > > hits than this.
