Where are there explanations of how to use spamassassin for neophytes without any mastery of computers?...
Hi Don,
First, I'm really glad that you have an interest in using SpamAssassin. I'll presume that by "neophytes without any mastery of computers", you are referring to yourself. If I'm wrong, please accept my apology, but, for now, that presumption will at least make this email easier to write and digest. :-)
SpamAssassin is complex enough by itself, and is only one piece of a much larger puzzle you must ultimately master in order to configure SpamAssassin with your email server (or client). Going in "without any mastery of computers", I fear, would be a little like handing a scalpel to a 1st year med student. How would a surgeon answer the question of "Where are there explanations of how to use a scalpel for neophytes without any mastery of medicine?"
So, Don, I've always been very keen on helping newbies, but I don't think your question, here, has a good answer.
If you post a little bit about your current setup (or how you envision it to work), and what you would like SpamAssassin to do for you, we may be able to give you some practical advice (or, indeed, pointers to "explanations of how to use SpamAssassin") that will be genuinely helpful to you.
If your "[non-]mastery of computers" (what does that mean, in your case?) still makes the learning curve too steep for you, you may at least come away with a better understanding of what you need to learn.
