SpamAssassin won't 'stop' spam, that's not its job. All SA does is to |
| 8 |
analyse incoming email (assuming of course that you've set things up |
| 9 |
correctly so that incoming mail is passed through SA at some point - I'm |
| 10 |
afraid I don't know how to do this with qmail as I'm a postfix man |
| 11 |
myself) and sets some headers to say whether it thinks the mail is spam |
| 12 |
or not. Unless you do something with those headers, you won't see a |
| 13 |
reduction in spam. Personally, I'd suggest processing mail through |
| 14 |
procmail after SA and adding a rule to delete (or put in a separate |
| 15 |
folder) anything which SA marks as spam. There are hundreds of tutorials |
| 16 |
on this - Googling for 'qmail spamassassin procmail' should get you |
| 17 |
started. |
