Aside from working with an email server, will this work with Webmails like gmail, yahoo, or msn? thanks you in advance -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Installation-on- SpamAssassin-tp15610814p15610814.html Sent from the SpamAssassin - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. Hi jeco, You ought to visit http://spamassassin.apache.org and find out a bit more about it. The installation of SA is quite an easy thing (though I would suggest doing it via package management, and not building it from source) but the configuration is a different story. You've not supplied many details. Are you installing a fresh mail server at the same time? Or are you installing Spamassassin into a live/functional Mail Server? Do you know what MTA you're using, or are going to be using? You really need to answer these questions for yourself, and then find some instructions for configuring SA for your setup/distribution/Mail Transport Agent. It is when you are having problems configuring this that the mailing list can help you. So, to summarise, find out what SA can and can't do for you from it's website. Figure out how you want to use it, and what you are deploying it upon. If you are going to be putting SA on a live server, it would pay to consult with this list first, but you really need to supply some more details. Cheers, Mike
RE: Installation on SpamAssassin
ok, thanks for the reply Mike, I'll try to explore the link you've given and learn first the basics. Sorry, because I'm just a newbie with this Anti Spam and would like to know more about it.

RE: Installation of Spamassassin
They are emails that are bounced back from sites. Here is an example of one: The following recipient(s) could not be reached: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 11/1/2005 2:40 PM The e-mail account does not exist at the organization this message was sent to. Check the e-mail address, or contact the recipient directly to find out the correct address. durham.orcsd.org #5.1.1 SMTP; 550 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: User unknown This was working until I added Spamassassin. -Original Message- From: Evan Platt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 01, 2005 10:18 AM To: spamassassin-users@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: Installation of Spamassassin At 07:09 AM 11/1/2005, you wrote: My question is this - I'm getting emails bouncing back to me saying that it can't be delivered.
