Yes, there are several ways to use SA to filter mail retrieved via POP3. Fetchmail is pretty popular for retrieving mail over intermittent (dialup) connections; you can use fetchmail to retrieve mail and put it in your mail spool on the local machine, then filter the spool with SA & procmail. See http://evillair.netdojo.com/howto/spamassassin.html for basic instructions. Another method is to use a filtering POP3 proxy such as pop3proxy (http://mcd.perlmonk.org/pop3proxy/). Configure the proxy to point at your POP3 server (localhost:8110 -> pop3server.example.com:110), point your mail client (Mozilla) at the proxy (localhost:8110), and retrieve mail as you normally would. I've had good results with pop3proxy under both SuSE and Cygwin (on Win2K.) > If I can, what is my next step after installing SA from the SuSE 9.0 > CD's to get it to run over the ~/.mozilla directory?

If you use pop3proxy, you'll need to sort mail within Mozilla. As was mentioned before, don't worry about using Bayes until you've got the basic stuff working. hth, -- Bob ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
