-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 >> (12.29.2002 @ 0812 PST): dick hoogendijk said, in 0.5K: << > It need not be state-of-the-art, but a good .procmailrc-file that > filters a lot of spam would come in very handy. > > Does any of you have such a file and would you be willing to share it > with me (us?). >> end of "procmail and anti-spam" from dick hoogendijk << This is what's in mine: :0fw | /usr/local/bin/spamassassin :0 * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes bullshit/ Here's what it does: It passes the mail through spamassassin (/usr/ports/mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin), which will append a header named "X-Spam-Status" to the mail. If that header exists, the mail is directed into an appropriately named folder. I now get between 50 and 60 spam messages a day (just one of the perks of being a FreeBSD committer active on the mailing lists, I suppose), and spamassassin catches about 95% of them. To be honest, my procmail filter is a tad different. I have spamd running from /usr/local/etc/rc.d, and my spamassassin filter line is actually | /usr/local/bin/spamc. Same difference, though. # Adam - -- Adam Weinberger vectors.cx >> adam@vectors.cx FreeBSD.org << adamw@FreeBSD.ORG Bayer Berkeley >> adam.weinberger.b@bayer.com #vim:set ts=8: 8-char tabs prevent tooth decay. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE+Dyrvo8KM2ULHQ/0RAgw6AJoDeHelfCQiDGFdjqE63oQ6AsTbiACfbkXW OWcM8SthPGh0BV6JhQQTS8g= =caTa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
