Question:
Does it also support adding 3rd party (native Perl) plugins?
or are you tied to the precomplied collection delivered by JAM?
As to the list's hostility, imo, most of the beginner's questions could
be answered by reading the docs or using a search machine.
Instead, many new users expect somebody else to do drop everything and
help them do their job.
Many subscribers just don't have the patience and instead of just
ignoring the thread, display a tendency to preach or worse, overwhelm
the beginner with info they can't process.
It's also becoming increasingly hard to get beginners to provide the
correct information to help them so when crystal ball quota is exceeded,
the tone can become uncomfortable...

FYI
I and many others use Jam's windows port of Spamassassin. It is exactly
the same as the linux version in what it can and cant do. Users can
modify with plugins, rules, scoring overrides etc just the same as you
do on linux. Spamd, spamc, spamassassin... all the same. The only
thing that is different are (obviously) program paths and how you refer
to them 9but as a windows user you would come to know that and learn you
way around it when reading linux-orientated manuals).

Thanks for the quick response. I'll try to reply with what I know.
But I purchased a package "SpamAssassin In A Box" from JAM Software.
I ran the installer, and that's it. I'm sorry that I don't know
more. But I don't know much about the inner workings. I was just
hoping it would work.
Spamassassin doesn't 'just work' *sufficiently* straight after install.
You will need to tweak (turn off and turn on) things to make it optimum.
As a purchasers of Jams paid product, you can contact Jam support
directly and they will help advise you on what you need to do to "get it
working". The have been useful to me and others.
(You will also get more direct help instead of having to endure the
constant incessant bickering and sniping and the _"Im right, he's
wrong"_ chest-beating that this mailing list tends to to be populated
with especially between the users that assume that those who are asking
the questions for help because they have a lack of knowledge dont have
the right to ask the basic because they are not knowledgable enough.)
