Hi, First of all, I am on a single, standalone machine [Celeron 333] and a 56K dialup. I am using:
Mandrake 8.1 [2.4.8-26mdk] postfix-20010228 fetchmail-6.1.0 procmail-3.22 SpamAssassin-2.55 I subscribe to thirteen e-mail lists, several of which generate 50-100 posts per day. I noticed that SpamAssassin was taking up to five minutes to process my e-mail. After fiddling around with postfix and procmail without success, I got an idea; instead of invoking SpamAssassin first in my ~/.procmailrc, I put it last. Here it is: -------------------------------------------- SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=$PATH PMDIR=$HOME/Procmail LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log MAILDIR=$HOME/mail VERBOSE=no ### backup of all incoming messages :0c $HOME/mail/backup :0: * [EMAIL PROTECTED] harp-l :0: * [EMAIL PROTECTED] cd :0: * ^TO.IAIDO-L* iai :0: * ^TO.isshinkaiKarate* ik :0: * ^TO.Isshinryu_* irtol :0: * ^TO.Pleasant_* pi :0: * ^TO.prisshin* prisshin :0: * [EMAIL PROTECTED] pro :0: * ^TO.kobudo* kobudo :0: * ^TO.shintais* shintais :0: * ^TO.zendo* zendo :0: * ^Subject.*mailfilter* mailfilter :0: * ^Subject.*SAtalk* sa :0: * ^TO.*ndisclosed* SPAM :0fw: spamassassin.lock | /home/kc8hr/bin/sausr/bin/spamassassin :0: * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes SPAM ------------------------------------------- Now SpamAssassin only has to check my personal e-mail, not the stuff going to the various e-mail lists, which get very little spam. Also, note the "* ^TO:*ndisclosed*" rule. I find that most messages sent to "undisclosed recipients" is spam, so I dump it there. Hope this helps some home users.
