[Techtalk] spam filters again

Oops, thought I had posted. In addition to spam issues, I have had mail 
server issues (actually the two are related, as I just added a 2nd ip to 
my mail server so that we can send out mail without it going through the 
spam filter--we were getting our own legitimate mail marked as spam), so 
maybe it didn't get sent. Anyway, I have it running now, although it 
hasn't seemed to have learned much yet. The problem was that nobody 
doesn't have a home directory, and the spamassassin user had to be able 
to write to some files in its home directory.

thanks for your help and concern,

cheers,
maria
