OK. I am sure you all are going to think this question is related to not reading .... on the contrary .. I have read countless threads, and I even bought the spamassassin book by orielly .. still confused :(
Here is all I have in my local.cf file (system wide) ... I have not done much with it .. auto_whitelist_factor 0.5 use_auto_whitelist 1 required_score 3 report_safe 1 rewrite_header subject ???CARIS SPAM??? My questions. How do I know that it is actually doing the auto whitelist ? Will this do the auto whitelisting to ~home/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist ? Every email I get has autolearn=no. Is this related to auto-whitelist or bayes ? I read that use_bayes option is set to 1 by default (which means enabled). I assume this means bayes is always working. All that I have to do now is train it, .. right ? I also read that the directives bayes_auto_learn is set by default to enabled, and this option will automatically classify spam with high scores, or ham with low ones ... I assume that since these are on by default that I do not need to add them to the local.cf ... right ? I have read in countless places that the way to train spam / ham is "sa-learn --no-rebuild --spam mail/spammailbox" "sa-learn --no-rebuild --ham mail/notspambox" "sa-learn --rebuild" Last of my questions ... (well .. for now anyway ... :) Is mail/notspambox just a normail users mailbox on the mail server ? How do I get the spam back to the spammailbox without forwarding it from internal ... which would then get the "trusted networks" I would assume it is better for bayes to be on a per-user basis ... but I do not allow users to logonto the mailserver, so how do I do training on a per-user basis ? I know there were allot of questions, ... I have been working on this for a while now, and these are my points of confusion. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Peter
