The setting in amavisd.conf has no effect when used with newer versions of spamassassin. If using version 3.1.x of spamassassin, comment out this line in v310.pre to disable auto-whitelist if desired: loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::AWL as opposed to disabling it in local.cf. Auto-whitelist will grow forever and I have seen some larger than 700MB. You can use the check_whitelist tool (in the tools directory of the source code) to trim down the file somewhat. Or: http://www.deepnet.cx/~kdeugau/spamtools/trim_whitelist See the spamassassin wiki for more info: http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/AutoWhitelist The bayes files will grow to somewhere around 7MB and will clean themselves up automatically. The bayes files are a database of tokens (pieces of information contained in email messages) that are used to decide if a given message is more "spam like" or "not spam like". It is set to automatically learn which is which by being fed spam and ham (not spam) but the 'sa-learn' program can be used to feed it manually. Its decision affects the total spam score: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-0.587-9 tagged_above=-999 required=5 tests=[BAYES_00=-2.599, BIZ_TLD=2.013, SPF_PASS=-0.001] ^^^^^^^^ Read the documentation: http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/BayesFaq http://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.1.x/dist/doc/ http://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.1.x/dist/doc/sa-learn.html Gregober --->> PGP ID --> 0x1BA3C2FD Gary V ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
