Hello All- My primary mail acct is hosted on a legacy Soalis 5.8 sun box, with SA 2.6 installed. I have been getting a ton of mail - 8k msgs per day, to my desktop client. It killed a hard drive!
So I am attempting to look into the config myself. No one else has time to do this for this acount. I read a lot of docs. I found the .spamassassin dir. In user_prefs, I added a long list of whitelist_from, 1 blacklist_from, set whitelist value to 1, and lowered score needed to 4. I found the auto white list files with a lock dating back to may. That didn't look right to me, so I rm'd the lock file, and cleared auto-whitelist.dir and auto-whitelist.pag. I ran sa-learn with a multi-thousand spam mbox. That seemed to execute fine, and the bayes_toks/bayes_sen were updated. But I am suspicious that no emails landing on my client have the SA X-Headers. When looking at the list of processes, I see a bunch of sendmail/imapd, and occasionally some spamc's. I have no admin privs on this machine. How can I verify that SA is working on each mail I am getting? Is there some other step I should take? btw- my /var/mail/xxxuser file was 700+mb. I cleared it. I have all my mail on my desktop. If I miss a few things now, its ok, if I can fix this horrendous deluge. thanks in advance -Brian __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
