Hello,

I read that adding black_list [EMAIL PROTECTED] to my local.cf 
file would block mail from coming from that person but after doing 
spamassassin --lint I got:
config: SpamAssassin failed to parse line, skipping: black_list 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

He is not necessarily a spammer he just refuses to stop sending one of 
our employees e-mails.

Thanks for any help.

Cool thanks, I was getting kind of confused.

So I guess my next task will be to add razor.


thanks

It IS recommended to learn mail that's already been flagged. Even if
it's 
flagged BAYES_99 SA can still learn worthwhile tokens from a message.

sa-learn recognizes SA's own spam tags, and will automatically strip
those 
out before learning it.

The only thing I'd avoid in training messages is I'd not intentionally 
train the same message twice. But even this is only because it's a minor

waste of time.. SA will just ignore them, no harm done, but it's
pointless 
to go out of your way to retrain the same message.

Also, if you use spamassassin -r on the message, it will strip tags,
learn 
as spam, and report it to razor, spamcop and any other hash systems you 
have installed (ie: dcc or pyzor.)

So all your macro needs to do is call spamssassin -r

Hi I am running SpamAssassin version 2.63 with mimedefang v 1.438. my
question is lately I have been getting a lot of spam e-mails getting
thorugh To the users on the network.=20

And every night I run this command on cron sa-learn --spam -C
/etc/mail/spamassassin --showdots --mbox /var/mail/bad-mail

so that it will learn the spam messages. My question is how can I verify
that spamassasin is actually learning from the emails=20 that are
forwarded to the bad-mail mailbox?

Also how can I increase my spam block rate?

In addition I also run the rules_du_jour everynight.

thanks
