Yes I read the basic configuration. Did you read my initial request in which I said I was a newbie?
Reading the "basic configuration" has no bearing on the other parts of my inquiry. Perhaps you didn't read that as well? Where I said this was a VPS with several domains? And that there where many, many files contributing to the SpamAssassin rules functions and operation? Did you read that? The basic configuration is just that - basic. I have no idea based on the numerous rules set discovered if the basic configuration will play nicely with a VPS with many domains and user preferences. I would prefer that you do not respond to my inquiries any longer as I consider you to be somewhat of a harasser. Please just exit the virtual door and stay away from my inbox. Thank you.
