Please read README for instructions on setting up your .procmailrc file. If you wish to use spamd (the Daemon version of spamassassin), please edit /etc/default/spamassassin. 'spamc' is equivalent to 'spamassassin -P' and you should use it instead if (and only if) you enabled 'spamd' (and you've installed the spamc package) To add rules, change scores, edit the template, edit /etc/spamassassin/local.cf. Please don't touch the other files in /etc/spamassassin, as you will be prompted to overwrite them on upgrade. Configuration file details are available in the Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf man page. User-specific configuration is the automatically created ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs, which is copied from /etc/spamassassin/user_prefs.template. It is automatically created whenever spamassassin is called, or when spamc is used with 'spamd -c'. SpamAssassin is compatible with Razor, an online spam database. Get the package razor, maintained by Robert van der Meulen. Razor version 2 is not (yet) supported. By default, spamassassin checks the RBLs relays.osirusoft.com, relays.ordb.org, relays.visi.com, orbs.dorkslayers.com, list.dsbl.org, multihop.dsbl.org. Spamassassin does not check the commercial RBLs blackholes.mail-abuse.org, relays.mail-abuse.org, dialups.mail-abuse.org and bl.spamcop.net. See the README to enable these. Spamassassin has the character set tests turned off in /etc/spamassassin/65_debian.cf, since this causes problems for foreign users. Please feel free to enable it, but make sure you set ok_locales appropriately. Spamd may not be entirely secure! Read README.spamd before running spamd. spamd and spamproxyd are in /usr/sbin, not /usr/bin. (This differs from upstream) Duncan Findlay duncf@debian.org
