I keep seeing people struggling to get bayes working on spamassassin, in most cases it's due to which user runs SA versus which user owns the database. You might have trained it as your own user but if you call it from the MTA or globally from /etc/procmailrc it will be running as mail and either unable to read the bayes database in your directory or not even looking for it where you've put it. spamassassin will remove all its own markup from a message, giving you back a clean usable message, I think it's -d. spamassassin -d < infile > outfile I guess there's no harm using bogofilter tho, I've heard it's good, and variety is always good too. -- Yorkshire Dave Custom rule generator for SpamAssassin. http://www.wot.no-ip.com/cgi-bin/detoken.pl top-posters will be tarred and feathered! -- Scanned by MailScanner at wot.no-ip.com -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
