RBL checks are fine. Razor checks are useless, because spam assassin catches more spam than razor does (by a LOT).
That's interesting. But: isn't there a good chance that the handful of spam that razor just catch, might just include something that spamassassin missed?
Not in my expierence. Perhaps with some other spam, but all the spam that gets thru to me ALSO failed razor (because my SA calls razor). As i have it configured, razor alone does not generate enough points to rate a trip to /dev/null, so It would end up in my spam box. There I would notice if razor caught something that SA did not catch by any other means.
BTW... I've found that installing spam assassin via CPAN is always preferable to using the included RPMs because you can get updates more frequently.
Is there a way to make an rpm out of this - I'd like to keep the rpm database happy.
Not that I know of, because the CPAN install is totally automated. On the other hand, there is no reason to keep rpm aware of the change if you never install with rpm in the first place. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
