Summary

SpamAssassin provides you with a way to reduce if not completely eliminate

Unsolicited Commercial Email (SPAM) from your incoming email. It can

be invoked by a MDA such as sendmail or postfix, or can be called from

a procmail script, .forward file, etc. It uses a genetic-algorithm

evolved scoring system to identify messages which look spammy, then

adds headers to the message so they can be filtered by the user's mail

reading software. This distribution includes the spamd/spamc components

which create a server that considerably speeds processing of mail.

To enable spamassassin, if you are receiving mail locally, simply add

this line to your ~/.procmailrc:

INCLUDERC=/etc/mail/spamassassin/spamassassin-default.rc

To filter spam for all users, add that line to /etc/procmailrc

(creating if necessary).
