SpamAssassin is not catching any significant number of spam messages that my own filters were not already catching, but it's doing a more systematic job of it in a way that is allowing me to eliminate some of my filters. > However, I can't figure out how to lower the cutoff threshold or > whitelist desirable mass mailings, as their instructions aren't > layman-oriented. I wonder if anyone can explain how (referring to > SAProxy for Windows) ? There are two ways to do this: 1. re-order your email program's filtering rules to catch the whitelisted items before it checks for the SpamAssassin headers, OR 2. right click on the SAProxy icon in the Taskbar's system tray and choose CONFIGURE. On the RULES tab you'll see a bunch of text. A few lines down you'll see some lines explaining how to do whitelisting. It's of this format: whitelist_from [EMAIL PROTECTED] You see that the example has a # in front of it, which means it's a comment, and not active. Add lines of that format without the # and you should have those addresses whitelisted. -- David W.
