I you do not have enough disk space or if the protections are not correct for what you want to do procmail will put the file in the users mail. You should write a script that kills of the spam files to keep it from becoming too large. I use a script that renames the saved spam files on a daily basis and keep each new file for about a week. This keeps the disc space use by the spam files automatically managed.

I would advise you to use 3.0.1 it is much much faster. Some things you need to consider are the following: 1. When you set up your local.cf file you must rewrite the Subject line to identify the message as spam. In the SA 3.0.1 local.cf file Located in /etc/mail/spamassassin/ I use the following two lines (check the syntax in 2.63 becuase it is a little differnt) required_hits 5 rewrite_header Subject [SPAM] In the /etc/procmailrc file I use the following entries: MAILDIRLOG=/smile$HOME/Mail DROPPRIVS=YES :0fw * < 256000 | spamc # This routine will dump your spam :0 H * ^Subject:.*\[SPAM\] $MAILDIRLOG/spam.log Please note that the directory you want to save the spam in must have proper user protections and you must drop to user privileges within procmail before you activate spamc. spamc of course requires the use of the spamd daemon. These suggestions are basic things for most on this list, but if you are new to using these tools it will save you some look up and experimenting time. Good Luck!!! Greg

Sometimes he doesn't even have ONE hit on a spam message !!!. You're running a rather old version of SA, one which is vulnerable to a malformed message causing denial of service. If you can't upgrade to 3.x, at minumum upgrade to 2.64. As for accuracy: 1) Consider installing Net::DNS so SA can query RBLs. (this is just done with CPAN, or a distribution package) 2) Consider adding DCC or Razor http://www.rhyolite.com/anti-spam/dcc/ http://razor.sourceforge.net/ 3) if you're on 2.6x consider adding antidrug.cf (built in on 3.x) http://mywebpages.comcast.net/mkettler/sa/antidrug.cf (just wget it into /etc/mail/spamassassin and restart spamd) 4) if you're on 2.6x consider adding the surbl.org plugin (similar code built in on 3.x) http://sourceforge.net/projects/spamcopuri/ 5) if you can keep up on training, consider setting up bayes. 2. I want to move the spam messages to a specific folder, how to do that ?. Procmail rules. See the example at: http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/UsedViaProcmail?action=""> Which moves mail to "almost-certainly-spam" and "probably-spam" mailboxes automaticaly.
