Thanks for the responses. I am aware of the -R arg to spamassassin, but here's what happens when I try:
ROOT@dahlia --> ./read_dbm $PMDIR/spamassassin_auto-whitelist | grep armstrong [EMAIL PROTECTED]>3 [EMAIL PROTECTED]>2 ROOT@dahlia --> echo "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" | spamassassin -R ROOT@dahlia --> ./read_dbm $PMDIR/spamassassin_auto-whitelist | grep armstrong [EMAIL PROTECTED]>3 [EMAIL PROTECTED]>2 Nothing. Hmmmm... I'm starting to lean toward the 'rm -f spamassassin_auto-whitelist*' solution ;') I didn't mean to suggest that the auto_whitelist was useless; I just wanted some feedback as to what it was good for. Subtle distinction, I know ;') And thanks for the 'GA' usage correction... my mistake. And another 'thanks' to the authors of Spamassassin. Well done.
