Maybe that's because its not possible to make *one* such HOWTO. There's a multitude of different ways to invoke and use SA, and one HOWTO can not describe them all. > but a nice HOWTO or step-by-step guide for Linux or FreeBSD would > be helpful in general. The important factor here would not be wether one uses Linux or FreeBSD. If one does a manual or a CPAN install it would be done the same way on both platforms, if one uses ports or a package based install, the procedure would be the same as for other ports/packages for that OS/distribution. What would really be different would be wether one wants to call SA from a simple sendmail milter, from an extremely configurable milter, from exim, from procmail, from another MDA, from a mail client, from a mail-fetcher script, or something completly different. All these requires different ssteps and can't be covered in one step-by-step guide. There are, however, step-by-step guides for some ways of installing and utilizing SA. Somewhere I have, for example, seen a step-by-step guide for installing SA and MIMEDefang and get them to work. And you can find a lot more by entering "spamassassin how-to howto" into Google and pressing Enter. /Jonas -- Jonas Eckerman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.fsdb.org/
