And so I finally decided I'd had enough garbage in my inbox and decided to fight back.
I have installed the spamassassin and spamc packages on a testing/ unstable Debian box and configured spamd to be used system wide by following the instructions in README.Exim3.gz. down to step 3. I though it enough to stop there as I use kmail and it should be able to handle filtering based on header contents. After starting spamd I notice that all incoming mail is marked: Received: from mail by colossus.apana.org.au with spam-scanned (Exim 3.36 #1 (Debian)) in the headers but otherwise there is no difference. Now in the fine Debian tradition I would have thought that the packages would have come with reasonable defaults or prompt on install but this seems not to be the case. I presume there is some other configuring of spamassassin to get thing working but the available documentation just confuses the daylights out of me. Could someone kindly point me in the right direction with some dummy-suitable hints on what I've missed? -- David Would anyone like any toast? -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
