[expert] email filtering [spamassassin x spamfilter]
Spamassassin... anybody using? I've tried it with the .procmailrc and .forward files recommended but I saw no results! Any recommendation? I've been using spamfilter (http://nl.linux.org) and it's quite good! But I've been told that spamassassim give us better control over what's to considered "spam" or not.

Re: [expert] email filtering [spamassassin x spamfilter]
I use ricochet. Me like. It's simple and I simply build kmail filters as they appear required - and then pipe the spam through ricochet. It automatically analyzes the spam email headers, determines if the sending email is likely faked or not, determines the correct abuse address to send to, and then sends a complaint email to the abuse address (the default message is good but you can alter it to your desires). All I ever see is a "From nobody" email in my inbox that is an alert message from ricochet telling you it responded to spam and who it sent the complaint message to (helps fix broken filters...I once accidently nailed my sister because a poorly formatted filter caught a word in her message that it ID'd as spam...) http://vipul.net/ricochet/ On Tuesday 29 January 2002 08:54 am, Ricardo Castanho de O.

I scarcely get any spam in my inbox, and there is no messing about with recipies. If SpamAssassin is working all your mails will have their header altered showing how many 'points' they scored. Here is a sample header it puts on your mails. X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=13 required=6 tests=INVALID_MSGID,HTML_WITH_BGCOLOR,PORN_4,CHARSET_FARAWAY_BODY,RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET,RCVD_IN_OSIRUSOFT_COM,X_OSIRU_SPAM_SRC X-Spam-Flag: YES Did you test the spamassasin as described in the README with the spam samples provided? Check on the web site for the latest instructions for use with .procmailrc I think the installation instructions in the .tar.gz are out of date. derek > I've been using spamfilter (http://nl.linux.org) and it's quite good! > But I've been told that spamassassim give us better control over what's to > considered "spam" or not. > > Ricardo Castanho > > PS:As far I heard about 'spamassassin' let's tag or score a email to be > considered spam, Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
