--------------------------------------------------------------- Hello liiiist !!
(in a vibrant loud attittude [and voice :-)] ! )
OK ! Topic of the month and the next ... Spamassassin !!
OK , a couple of questions. If any of you chaps wrestled with the beast feel free to come forward and share info. Here we go :
1. spamassassin ! Plain sa installation . What next ? Training ? 1000 Spam and 1000 Ham ??
2. spamassassin and sa_filter.pl. Invoking spamd instead of spamassassin. Can someone still train spamassassin ? From what Don told me you don't But I need this clarified. Could someone answer this ?
3. Say you _DON'T_ train spamassassin and you leave it running with "spamd" and Dons' options. Can someone at least enroll any relevant mail (ham) that is being treated as spam in the whitelist, so they don't get thrown?
4. This is one of the most serious questions that's been bugging
me for the
last weeks.
We have Xmail running and people get their ham and spam. Can
someone
define a simple way of actually grabbing hold of spam and
putting it
onto,say , a
spam mail account, so then I (the admin) can go and start
feeding the
beast
(that'd be spamassassin) in order for it live and learn ?
OK, I'll analyze this ; I told people to forward spam mail
to my account
on the
clients' site, so I can have a look and see the message
format. However,
two
issues arise :
a. What exactly do I tell spamassassin when I get all this
mail flood
via the
Microsoft Outlook MUA and the message headers have been
altered
anyway
(it's from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
inside is the
mail
with the _real_ headers like
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
to [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
b. Do I strip the last headers ? And if yes, how ?? !!!Two reasons I posted this on the xmail list and not on the sa list :
a. I use sa with Xmail (good enough for me :-) b. The sa list never gets a message I send. Same happens here but sometimes. Don't ask me why; I have no idea :-)
Please help ! ;-)
