Hi John* >>I take it the [?] means you didn't understand what I was trying to explain? >>I'd be happy to try again, if you wish to understand what "niceness" means.*
Sorry didn't realise, it was meant to be a smiley symbol ;-) but was replaced by a question mark instead. In essence, from what you're saying, the niceness level in spamassassin will dictate the priority of processing. I'm assuming the higher the niceness level its set, the least priority it has? Should I be setting this or can it be left out? My server is only running running Exim, Apache (for only one website) and SA Also I've set the timeout to 60secs: ===== SPAMD_OPTS="-m 6 -H -u mail --timeout-child=60" ===== Does this mean that SA will scan the message for up to 60seconds before it is let through? In essence what will happen to the message after the timeout set? will the message just be let through? Many thanks :-)
