My "test" has been to tell it to tag messages even with a threshold of
zero, and nothing is ever tagged.

Has anyone got a walk through or good document on getting these tools
running on FreeBSD with the system's base sendmail installation? I've
tried web searching and my usual FreeBSD documentation sites with no

I use sendmail with clam for av and spamassasin.  You should also have 
mailscanner installed as well.


You need to make setting changes in your MailScanner.conf  file located in 
/usr/local/etc/MailScanner/


In this file are setting for how spam is dealt with.
Look for the setting:
High Scoring Spam Actions =

You will probably want to set that to delete.

Also go through all the setting in this file.

Once you have mailscanner running you should see subjects changed and also 
a footer added to each email.
