Does spamassassin have to be run on a public maiol > server? Note that there is a difference between the different levels. At the first level, messages get the SPAM score in the header, at the second they get the spam header and _optionally_ a modified subject. At the third level, they are dropped. If you've set up your first level to 1 you should see a header like this: X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=1.0 tagged_above=0.4 required=1.0 tests=NO_COST This means that the message had a score of 1. As you can see, I add the score in the headers at 0.4 (level 1), at 1 messages are markes as spam (level 2).

RE: spamassassin question
I am assuming you are processing spamassassin before you tell sendmail to deliver. I use qmail so I can't really tell you how to make sure. At any rate: Otherwise go to /etc/spamassassin and edit the local.cf file and change the subject tag to what you want. If you change the required hits in this file it will set it for the entire system. Otherwise, just get the spamassassin webmin, it works really slick for administration. You do have to point it at your spamassassin install, ie, /etc/spamassassin/spamassassin -Original Message- From: Jacob Vallandingham [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2004 12:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: spamassassin question I am trying to run spamassassin on an internal linux box with sendmail.

It depends on how you run spamassassin. If you're using the config I documented on my web site then, no, user prefs aren't used. I think some of the details have changed in recent SA releases, but the issue is like this : 1) The message must be scanned separately for each recipient, or else who's preferences do you use? (making this happens is configuration dependent) 2) For file-based user prefs, spamd must be run (as root) with a flag to enable them and spamc must tell spamd what user to drop privileges to (and use their prefs). (I'm not sure if this is still supported or not) 3) It is easier to use SQL-backed user prefs because spamd can just connect to the db and read the corresponding options. #1 is still required.

Yes, they do apply, at least if you're running the it via spamd. You have to explicitly turn off user preferences with the -x optionif you don't want them used. -- -- | Stephen Gran | The easiest way to figure the cost of | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | living is to take your income and add | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | ten percent.| -- msg25937/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
