The statement in `perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf`that "5.0 is > the default setting, is quite aggressive" does not seem true here. I'd strongly suggest using the Bayesian filters, per-user, that is. For a mail setup at my company for about 20 people with high mail traffic I'm running a nightly cron job to archieve that. Basically it works like this: - All incoming mail is scanned by Spamassassin, Bayes enabled - Users have "virtual homedirs" for Spamassassin - A nightly cron job learns all mail in users' INBOX.Spam.LearnSpam and INBOX.Spam.LearnHam folders (it's a simple shell script) That way all users can put mails they'd like to be learned as being spam in the respective IMAP folder and have them automatically learned overnight. Simple setup, highly effective, simple for my users. In order to give more hints to setup this, it would be helpful to know which mail storage is being used (IMAP? What server? What storage?). -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
