Yes so I found out, but too be fair he did say it might be too
restrictive and in my case it is. I am now looking at enabling bayes
unless anyone has any other suggestions.

But I think you will get a lot of FPs with that one.

Once Bayes has begun to work, you can slowly decrease the auto-learn
limits back to defaults (well, I have a problem allowing Bayes to learn
as ham anything with a 0 or positive score, but YMMV), and Bayes will be
mostly self-maintaining. It won't work as well as on systems where every

How can I get spamassassin to recognise the attached e-mail as spam.
I have looked through the tests on the spamassassin web site, but to no
avail.
Thanks in advance.

1) that's not a complete email it's only a body with partial headers, thus
nobody will be able to test it against spamassassin.
2) these kind of obfuscating strings are
Good morning guys!
Im new to spamassassin. I have it set up on a redhat 8 box with sophos and
amavisd-new.
It seem to be working out of the box but I have a few questions.
(Maybe someone can point me to some docs?)
1. I know spamassassin works on a point system, but does it learn as time
goes

See the topics on SpamAssassin's Learn Feature. You'll need to feed it ham
and spam for it to learn.
2. My compnay wants to block all

IF you use the bayes subsystem, which is on by default but untrained as
well, SA will engage in some automatic learning for the bayes rules. The
remaining rules are static ones,
2. My compnay wants to block all swears (dont ask me why!)
How can this
be done?
Write some custom rules with high scores:
bodyLOCAL_SWEARWORD1/\bf***\b/i
score LOCAL_SWEARWORD1 10.0
Substitute f*** for your favorite swear word.. Be sure to
frame your swear words

This would probably be a little better cleaner looking:
body LOCAL_SWEARWORD /\b(?:word1|word2|word3|word4)\b/i
And in case anyone else unfamiliar with regex is wondering about that
question mark followed by a colon - it is a special code
Sorry all,
I jumped the gun.
This does flag it as spam.

Hi all,
I've just posted a new guide in my series of Postfix Anti-Spam
documents. This one is a step-by-step guide to getting Postfix working
with SpamAssassin as per the configuration that I like using.
Comments and constructive criticism are welcome.
The guide can be found here:
I have not tried that install myself. I have heard of others on the list
have good success. I use RH so I use Theo's RPMs.
