Re: Will SpamAssassin work with my mail setup?
From: "Terry Wray" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I checked the FAQ's and the searched the WIKI but couldn't find an
answer to this question...
My email client (thunderbird) connects directly to my remote POP Mail
Server, which is hosted by my ISP.
Is there a configuration of SpamAssassin that will work for me?
Modulo the flexibility of Thunderbird you should be able to.
I do something akin to this with Outlook Express.
I use fetchmail to get mail from the ISP. I feed that through procmail
as the MDA. Procmail calls spamc->spamd for the filtering. It also
does some prefiltering before I get to SpamAssassin.

If you don't have access to the ISP's mail server you have to run it locally. If you're running on Windows a suggestion has already been offered. If you're running on a *nix (probably including OS-X) you can set up local delivery via spamassassin using fetchmail to retrieve your email and delivery via a local SMTP server (e.g. sendmail) or via a delivery agent like procmail. Spamassassin would hook into this using the standard methods (milter, procmail+spamc, etc.) This might be rather more involved of a project than you're willing to pursue... :) -- John Hardin KA7OHZICQ#15735746http://www.impsec.org/~jhardin/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]FALaholic #11174pgpk -a [EMAIL PROTECTED] key: 0xB8732E79 - 2D8C 34F4 6411 F507 136C AF76 D822 E6E6 B873 2E79 --- You are in a maze of twisty little protocols, all written by Microsoft. --

Depends. If Thunderbird is running on Windows, try http://physics.ucsd.edu/~epivovar/anti-spam.htm Bret
