Re: [PLUG] SpamAssassin on Redhat


Sorry, yes. I think we misunderstood eachother. Yes, I am trying to
implement a 'anit-spam' solution on a mail relay which has no local mail
delivery. I did find a statement in a procmail book about having to define a
filter configuration in sendmail for tagging to occur but it was not clear
if that would work for anything besides procmail. I am going to read some
more items this weekend and do some small experimentation next week. I will
post to the list what I find out...

Thank you very much for your insight.

Kam.
