Hi Ruben, I have set up Spamassassin using apt-get (thanks for that) and have configured it to insert **** SPAM **** into the subject when it is run. I have tested it to see if it's working by running the command:
spamassassin -D < /dirpath/sample-spam.txt and it shows me the email in a before and after state with the subject rewritten correctly in the after state. I have read that using spamc is a more light weight process that does the same thing and will probably work better for me if I am just going to implement it with single email address' in there individual .qmail files next to their Maildir directories. However I am unable to find spamc anywhere . . . ? Surely it should be in my /usr/bin/ directory along with my spamassassin command?
