Don't suggest that SpamAssassin should delete mail automatically and you'll be fine. :) > From what it seems, one must let spamassassin know of what to filter > as spam mail; So far so good. Just pipe mail through SpamAssassin and SA will analyze and tag it. If you're using the Bayesian analyzer, you should train it with sa-learn using spam and non-spam (ham) messages that you've manually verified and sorted. SA will learn automatically but autolearning is cautious and therefore slow. > It also looks like one has to invoke a special format of expressions > (regex's?) > to the .cf file living under /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf Only if you need custom rules.

There are a few rule writing guides available: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/mkettler/sa/SA-rules-howto.txt http://www.intuitive.com/spam-assassin-rule-help.html (roughly the same material but a little easier to read) You'll find a lot of custom rules and rule-writing guidance on http://www.exit0.us, too. 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.
