We don't have people speaking russian in the company so it would be nice to give 1 or 2 points on just the language. Well, SpamAssassin has two tools to help here.. ok_locales will check character sets. By default it allows everything, but you can change it to only allow character sets that are appropriate for your locale. Also, there's the TextCat plugin, which you'd have to un-comment in v310.pre. Once that's enabled, you can start using ok_languages, which tries to guess at the language of a message based on character combinations. Please read the docs closely, as there are a lot more languages than locales, so what's valid for one isn't valid for the other. (There are lots of languages that all use the same character sets.) http://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.2.x/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html#language_options http://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.2.x/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Plugin_TextCat.html

There's also ok_locale settigns which match the alphabet setting and does not require any plugin... -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.

Are you looking for something that would score mail differently depending on the language used? Some of the SARE rules are designed to handle specific languages differently: http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm -- John ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

SA uses a _lot_ of rules that score against English spam. If you're receiving spam in another language, then you'll need to translate the rules, as it were. SA does not have a language abstraction layer. Spam detection is based heavily on content. Content is mired in language. Chris St. Pierre Unix Systems Administrator Nebraska Wesleyan University

Does SPAM Assassin score what we boarheaded Americans consider to be "foreign language" email messages the same as it would English? Pardon my ignorance on the matter! Thanks!! Nate
