A few questions you need to know. Does the users control the user_prefs file? If so can they write there own rules. Does each user has their own Bayes database? If so, how do they get trained? How are you getting the email to spamassassin or spamc/spamd? Is there any filtering of the email from the tagging of spamassassin? > > > Beyond that "minor" annoyance, I also have a few other issues: > > Does SA log by default?
