RE: [SLUG] SpamAssassin

Hey guys

How does one get spamassasin to work with sendmail?  There are docs with
Procmail and a pluggin for Qmail, but no mention of sendmail anywhere.

Cheers,
Steve

I don't like the way spamassassin rewrites messages (with false positives)
so I turn it off, and use (instead of the snippet above):

:0: 
* ^X-Spam-Status.*Yes
spam/

my /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf:

# Add your own customisations to this file.  See 'man
Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf'
# for details of what can be tweaked.
#
rewrite_subject 0
report_header 1
use_terse_report 1
