Sorry for the naive question, but how do I get Spamassassin to judge my emails? I've had spamassassin running for a month or so now, and find the default setup to be quite good. Still, some spam gets thru, and I know there is a way to select which emails are spam and which are ham using the baysean filter. But I'm not sure how to do this. Running suse 10.0, mostly dvd packages (kde if that matters).
Take a look at "Rules Du Jour": http://www.exit0.us/index.php?pagename=RulesDuJour This way you can use additional custom SpamAssassin rules to tag spam (mostly SARE rules from http://www.rulesemporium.com/). If you run your own mail server, you should also set up some sort of RBL (Real Time Blackhole List) service, so that spam from known sources is blocked at SMTP level and doesn't get to your mailbox at all. robert
