The INSTALL manual is talking about user based spamassassin configuration while on my case its a sitewide configuration

Even though I'm sure this isn't the answer you want: _RTFM_. The FM you should read is the INSTALL file in the distribution, it gives a small example.


Why don't I just tell you how to do it? Well, as Nancy McGough said in earlier thread/post/message:

And the attitude
of a lot of people, including me sometimes, is that if you can't
read the documentation, you should not be administering an email
system.


I agree totally. I think this should be viewed by *EVERYONE ON THE INTERNET*:

RTFM and STFW: How To Tell You've Seriously Screwed Up

There is an ancient and hallowed tradition: if you get a reply that reads "RTFM", the person who sent it thinks you should have Read The Fucking Manual. He is almost certainly right. Go read it.

RTFM has a younger relative. If you get a reply that reads "STFW", the person who sent it thinks you should have Searched The Fucking Web. He is almost certainly right. Go search it.

Often, the person sending either of these replies has the manual or the web page with the information you need open, and is looking at it as he types. These replies mean that he thinks (a) the information you need is easy to find, and (b) you will learn more if you seek out the information than if you have it spoon-fed to you.

You shouldn't be offended by this; by hacker standards, he is showing you a rough kind of respect simply by not ignoring you. You should instead thank him for his grandmotherly kindness.

I *AM* looking at the manual and search results from google. So a) and b) from that paragraph definitely apply. Actually, that whole snippet I pasted applies. ^_^

"You shouldn't be offended by this; by hacker standards, he is showing you a rough kind of respect simply by not ignoring you. You should instead thank him for his grandmotherly kindness."

I was originally going to ignore this, but I thought better of it, hence this reply.

/me thinks he should make this as a boiler-plate for his future RTFM replies.
