Two things: 1. How do I test this? I tried cpying the whole message, including the headers, into another file and running spamassassin -d < SA_x_rotfile > x_rotfile but nothing happens. I just get a blank line. I have to hit Ctrl-C to kill it. I normally use spamd so I don't know why it isn't working. Can anyone fill me in as to why this won't work. Doing spamassassin -t < spam > spamout doesn't work either. Like I said, I hit return after entering this command and nothing happens. No errors or anything. - ------------------------------------------- Randomly Generated Quote: Catalogue: How to tell one sort of cat from another.
