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
