Those emails are Viruses, not Spam - why not get some Anti Virus Software?
-----Original Message----- From: Howard Brazee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 27 October 2003 14:08 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SAtalk] Newbie My e-mail provider uses Spam Assassin. Lately I have been getting about a thousand e-mails telling me to patch my Windows. I use MailWasher to delete these, as if I leave on vacation my in box gets too large for Outlook to handle. I let my provider know an they bumped Spam Assassin up to level 3, but all this did was filter out good e-mail - I still get my offers to patch Windows. So I checked with my provider and they told me: > You might try using the SpamAssassin configuration file maker available > at: > > http://www.yrex.com/spam/spamconfig.php > > Once setting options.. either download, then upload the file to your > server, or cut and paste it into > > /home/username/.spamassassin/user_prefs I'm not sure how to do this, but first started reading the docs. This language seems to be designed for someone with a completely different programming background than I have (30 years mainframe CoBOL & database). I was expecting to be able to add some simple rules, but it appears that I have a big learning curve ahead of me to get rid of these annoying spam/viruses. What is the best way to start my education? I expect to stop as soon as I get this task completed. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The SF.net Donation Program.
