SpamAssassin - Please Help!
I have asked this on another forum but got no answers. I have an email server running RH9. I have Vexira for Mail Servers (Milter version). I need to get Spam Assassin up and running as we have been slammed with spam trying to dump a worm on us. Luckily Vexira caught it and wouldn't let it through. But I think if I had Spam Assassin up and going it would block it. I know nothing about how to configure it or anything. I asked this question before and was referred to a site where instructions were posted to do this with Sun, but not with RH9. I can make no sense out of the man pages. Can anybody point me in the correct location to get it up and running? I have tried going to www.spamassassin.org but can't make much sense out of there either.I would appreciate any help and I thank you in advance!!!
I found this by clicking on the link you provided and then going through links from there. Hopefully this is of help to you. As for actually obtaining the Spam Assassin software, you'll have to get the RPMs from somewhere (although somewhere in my clicking around I think I saw that RedHat has this software available already--not too sure though).
You might also want to look into your mail program it will be running from, as there are several HOW-TOs at the spamassassin.org documentation site:
