Nope, no IMAP here, and yes, it's set for incoming. I'm wondering if I
don't have something wrong in some config file somewhere. I ran
spamassassin from a command line followed by a CTRL-D to send it an EOF,
so I'm /assuming/ it, itself, is running properly.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] chuck]$ spamassassin
X-Spam-Status: No, hits=2.9 required=5.0
tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER
autolearn=no version=2.63
X-Spam-Level: **
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.63 (2004-01-11) on localhost
[EMAIL PROTECTED] chuck]$
But I simply see no evidence in any incoming mail that it has actually
reached spamassassin and has been processed.
Oh, well ... work calls, so I have to put this aside for now. I'll be
back with more frustration later, I'm sure. Thanks, guys.
