Hello liiiist !!

(in a vibrant loud attittude [and voice :-)]   !  )

OK ! Topic of the month and the next ... Spamassassin !!

OK , a couple of questions. If any of you chaps wrestled with the beast
feel free to come forward and share info. Here we go :

1. spamassassin ! Plain sa installation . What next ? Training ?
    1000 Spam and 1000 Ham ??

2. spamassassin and sa_filter.pl. Invoking spamd instead of spamassassin.
   Can someone still train spamassassin ? From what Don told me you don't
   But I need this clarified. Could someone answer this ?

3. Say you _DON'T_ train spamassassin and you leave it running with "spamd"
    and Dons' options. Can someone at least enroll any relevant mail (ham)
    that is being treated as spam in the whitelist, so they don't get 
thrown?

4. This is one of the most serious questions that's been bugging me for the 
last weeks.
    We have Xmail running and people get their ham and spam. Can someone
    define a simple way of actually grabbing hold of spam and putting it 
onto,say , a
    spam mail account, so then I (the admin) can go and start feeding the 
beast
    (that'd be spamassassin) in order for it live and learn ?
    OK, I'll analyze this ; I told people to forward spam mail to my account 
on the
    clients' site, so I can have a look and see the message format. However, 
two
    issues arise :
    a. What exactly do I tell spamassassin when I get all this mail flood 
via the
        Microsoft Outlook MUA and the message headers have been altered 
anyway
        (it's from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and inside is the 
mail
         with the _real_ headers like [EMAIL PROTECTED]
         to [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
     b. Do I strip the last headers ? And if yes, how ?? !!!

Two reasons I posted this on the xmail list and not on the sa list :

a. I use sa with Xmail (good enough for me :-)
b. The sa list never gets a message I send. Same happens here but sometimes.
    Don't ask me why; I have no idea :-)

Please help ! ;-)
