Bypassing scan on locally originated mail
Hi, I can't seem to find this anywhere, so I guess it couldn't be too much of a faq :) I'd like spamassassin to be bypassed for mail which originates from the local server (sendmail running on freebsd) Is there a way to do this? Thanks! Rich

bayes database merge?
Hi, I was wondering how one might go about merging two or more bayes databases into one? I have a user who for various reasons can't save his spam back to the server, so I thought I'd create a database for him by "averaging" others' data. I know there are problems with this, but it's better than nothing... Thanks, Rich
globbing in user_prefs whitelist not working
Hi, I'm using SA 2.63 on freebsd 4.10. It seems that whitelist_from [EMAIL PROTECTED] in user_prefs isn't working, I have to fully specify the userid. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks! Rich
Re: globbing in user_prefs whitelist not working
I should mention that the address in question is the user's own address; he's cc:ing mail to himself. I have to fully specify his address. According to Rich Winkel: > Hi, I'm using SA 2.63 on freebsd 4.10.

netset: illegal network address given
Could someone explain what this means? I'm getting it when I do a "sa-learn --spam" Thanks! Rich
sa ignoring whitelist_from in user_prefs
For a particular user, I'm finding no correlation between his whitelist_from's in user_prefs and the whitelist status as reported in incoming messages. I see messages with no USER_IN_WHITELIST when both the From and From: addresses match a whitelist_from line in the user_prefs file. I also see messages with USER_IN_WHITELIST but that userid is NOT listed in the user_prefs. What could cause this?? Thanks, Rich

Yikes! Somehow I didn't catch this. I'm using spamass-milter and it has a "-u" option for just this situation. Many thanks!! Rich
Moving user's SA directory elsewhere
Because of an NFS bottleneck I'd like to move users' .spamassassin directories to a local directory such as /var/spool/sa/USERNAME/ Can someone tell me where this path is set? Thanks, Rich
