Maybe I am looking for something that doesn't exist. Or maybe the documentation is always the last part of the code to go out and that part is never fun, so it just never gets done. This is a "for fun" project (nuking spammers), right?
It would be nice to find a resource of technical reference where it was spelled the various "common" ways of installing this software (in clear terms). All I have been able to find is hints that there are 2 major ways of using the code, as a stand alone group of perl modules that somehow magically install themselves with a "make routine" or secondly, as a somehow installed daemon that runs as a process and somehow catches spam before/after/as the mail server process mail. I have almost 30 years in computing and at 55 am tired of learning new OSes. Thus I have avoided Unix "guruism" until now. Because of economics, I am forced to use an inexpensive "unix shell account" as my wife's personalized small business. Before, I was an absolutely great support person, adding/removing names from .procmailrc and FTPing-up my 3 webpages. However, SPAM has changed all that. Today, all I want to do is add Spam Assassin to my POP3 "Unix Redhat shell" account so that the installed procmail controlled mail server will somehow eliminate the 200 SPAMS a day my wife and I receive. I am having a tough time finding anyone who is seasoned at this, knowing both Unix structure and basic mail protocol, but moreover someone who also has the good attribute of being patient enough to not think someone who does not live and breath this OS must not be worth lending a guiding hand. Thanks!
