Help,

I recently moved my hosting from Dreamhost.com to Hostmonster.com. When I was at Dreamhost, I was able to load a local copy of SpamAssassin and configure it to use Bayesian and DNS filtering which worked wonderfully well. Now at Hostmonster, they have version 3.1.4 installed but I do not know how to configure the SpamAssassin to properly filter my e-mail. Before on Dreamhost, I would let my spam build up in the Trash folder and once a week, I would have SpamAssassin learn the spam from the trash using a MySQL database. I learned to do this by following detailed instruction at http://www.unsaturated.com/projects.spamassassinMySQL.html.

What questions do I need to ask my host provider to see if I can help filter my e-mail? The SpamAssassin 3.1.4 is server wide, are there local features that I can add to it to help fight all of this spam? My experience level is low but I am familiar with logging into my shell (SSH) with Putty and working my way around UNIX or Linux a little bit.

Thank you,
Keith
