While you are learning about spamassassin skip the baynesian stuff untill you get spamassassin working. > > My query is this: Can I use SA if I am using Mozilla as my MTA to send > and receive my POP email ie no sendmail, qmail, fetchmail, just Mozilla > and sorting it into my local folders on Mozilla? Mozilla is not a Mail Transfer Agent. Mozilla is a MUA(Mail User Agent). There is a way to get fetchmail to hand the email to Spamassassin I hear, but I do not know how that would be done. It is best if Spamassassin is working with a MTA. > > If I can, what is my next step after installing SA from the SuSE 9.0 > CD's to get it to run over the ~/.mozilla directory?

Can those mails marked as SPAM be put > into a specific folder ie Junk on Mozilla? yes, you would let the MTA process and tag the email then you could sort the email with mozilla. Mozilla can sort on other things besides the subject line.
