Hi Jan, > Dave, I downloaded the spamassassin program and unzipped it. Do I have to be a rocket scientist to install this? The instructions mention perl a lot, and while I do have perl installed on my D drive, my main drive is C and I'm not a perl guru in any way, shape or form. Can you help me with this?
I'm not quite sure about how to install it on Windows - it's dead simple to install on Linux. You *should* be able to set your mail client up (assuming you use a reasonably capable client) to pipe all incoming mail through spamassassin first, then add filter rules to move aside the ones which are tagged as spam. Perhaps an easier option might be SAProxy (SpamAssassin Proxy) - it sounds like it should be of use to you - it's a POP3 proxy which transparently filters the mail through SpamAssassin before it gets to your mail client. Being a simple POP3 proxy, it ought to work with almost any mail client. Have a look at http://saproxy.bloomba.com/ for more info - this might be just what you need! Apparently comes with friendly installer and configuration wizard too. I don't know if it's got the main SpamAssassin code built-in to it or if you need to put it somewhere. Well, hope this helps! Let me know how you get on.
