Hi all...
Ok, I really really want to stop the hot girl ads etc. So I installed Spamassassin. But now what? I don't see anyway of getting the damn thing to start working! I use KDE and Kmail, but no where does the how-to's talk about Kmail. SO, would one of you kind people out there give me a 1,2,3 list of how to get this working?
Thanks

Ah those ads are so enjoyable. :-) You'll have to use fetchmail to get the mail from your isp's server then procmail to sort it and then spamassassin to filter out the spam(or at least that's how I do it). I belive togan's unofficial faq has a chapter on it. http://toganm.tripod.com/fetchmail.html The how to's are in /usr/share/doc/packages. There's a procmail, fetchmail, spamassassin and perl spamassassin how to. You can also search the archives or go to http://www.netsys.com/suse-linux-e/index.html to search the archives for spamassassin or procmail. -- Franklin Maurer Using SuSE 8.2 Pro
