Dear Fedora specialists I have tried to get rid of the mass of spam mails that I receive using Spamassassin on my FC1 machine. I used this machine as a single user desktop computer. After going through various manuals* on how to configure Spamassassin I still cannot get it invoked and no X-Spam headers are inserted when I look at the mails in Evolution. spamd is running and I can use spamc manually on test mails. I have switched my MTA to Postfix, because most manuals suggest using this, added the necessary stuff to the configuration files and created the spam user (why is this necessary?). What is missing? Can anybody explain the process of receiving mail from a POP3 account until it ends up in Evolution? How can I test the individual processes and check what goes wrong? Do I need Postfix and/or procmail? Thanks a lot for your help in advance Andre * http://www.stearns.org/doc/spamassassin-setup.current.html http://www.securitysage.com/guides/postfix_uce.html http://www.geekly.com/entries/archives/00000155.htm
