All you linux experts are using spamassassin rather than the Mozilla-mail spam control. I tried to use the latter. But without fully knowing its usage, I tend to disable it several times because I found out some important emails are marked as spams quite often.
Can someone tell me why you are using spamassassin rather than mozilla spam-control?
I think the beauty of the system is that after having spamassassin mark the message the way you want, you can have Mozilla take actions on those (very clear) markings. I don't know how good the Mozilla Bayesian system is (if it's even Bayesian), but spamassassin has only had one false positive for me in the couple years I've been using it. (I err on the side of caution just a little, and get a few missed spams in my inbox.)
In fact, what I want the most is actually very simple. I just wish to mark all emails with either *.gif or *.jpeg or *.jpg in the content (not in the attached file) as spams.
I don't know about this part. The only thing I can think of is that you could mark some of the rules in spamassassin as giving a HUGE weight to anything with those named attachments. Also, I see that the version of spamassassin that SuSE is including has that fancy "mime defang" feature, which I thought I'd have to add another piece of software for. This feature can make things a lot "safer." Regards, dk -- David "Dunkirk" Krider, http://www.davidkrider.com Acts 17:28, "For in Him we live, and move, and have our being."
