[gentoo-user] Spamassassin: Ignoring setup ???

2006-05-31 Thread Meino Christian Cramer

Hi,

 I am using spamassassin in combination with exim and Emacs/Mew to
 handle my mails. 

 Everything seems to work well. Spamassassin recognizes spam and write
 a 

   X-Spam_score: 5.1
   X-Spam_score_int: 51
   X-Spam_bar: +
   X-Spam_report: Spam detection software, running on the system solfire, has 
identified this incoming email as possible spam.  The original message  has 
been attached to this so you can view it (if it isn't spam) or label
similar future email.  If you have any questions, see   the administrator of 
that system for details.   Content preview:  Content-Type: text/plain

 -field into the header of suspicious mails (exact output depends on
 the spam contents itsself).

 Unfortunately I haven't figured out how to convince Mew to scan not
 only the official mail header parts like To:, From: and such
 but also any other entry in the header.

 What remains is: I have to look for spam myself and being happy,
 that spamassassin has judged this or that mail as spam also.

 It would be nice, if spamassassin would put a ***SPAM*** directly
 into the Subject:-field, which can be scanned by Mew.

 In /etc/spamassassin/local.cf I found the following entry:

#   Add *SPAM* to the Subject header of spam e-mails
#
rewrite_header Subject *SPAM*
add-header
 
 but.it seems to achieve nothing.

 Do I have to enable this somewhere else? Or why is spamassassin
 silently ignoring my wishes.

 Am I spam mysself ? ;) ;O))

 I would be hapy about any hint about this problem!
 Kind regards,
 Meino Cramer

 Meino Cramer--gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing listDid you install spam assassin from emerge, CPAN, or other source?
My CPAN version looks for /etc/mail/spamassassin/* for example. If you do#vi `which spamd`you can see where it is looking for the config files.
