Re: [PLUG] SpamAssassin. Go get it.
|
I set it up about a week ago. I am getting a higher false postive, maybe
1 message a day. A little adjusting of the order of procmail filtering
will take care of some of that.
And I setup some logging and reporting:
$ cat .procmail/spamcount
105 04/05/02
21 04/06/02
28 04/07/02
29 04/08/02
31 04/09/02
25 04/10/02
30 04/11/02
32 04/12/02
I also setup some tests for the fetchmail lists, since april 4th
fetchmail-friends@lists.ccil.org is 100% effective
99 spam caught
50 actual messages
fetchmail-announce
100 spam caught
0 actual messages
1 spam had 4.5 points and would have been moderated.
I am looking forward to using setting up spamassassin for use with mailman
once woody becomes stable. Woody may be released as stable May 1st.
