| SPAM Assassin setup |
Step 1. Installing the SpamAssassin CPAN utility. You will need to do this as root. $ su - Once you have root privileges invoke cpan. # perl -MCPAN -e shell cpan> Now install with prerequisites policy set to ask. cpan> o conf prerequisites_policy ask cpan> install Mail::SpamAssassin You will get lots of output as the necessary modules are downloaded and compiled and installed. Step 2. Configuration. Edit the following "/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf" Here is a look at my file $ cat /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf # This is the right place to customize your installation of SpamAssassin. # # See 'perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf' for details of what can be # tweaked. # ########################################################################### # # rewrite_subject 0 # report_safe 1 # trusted_networks 212.17.35. # # Below added from book # You may want to set this to 5, then, work your way down. # Currently I have this 3 required_hits 3 # This determines how spam is reported.
