It doesn't do anything unless something hands mail to it via its companion program, spamc (unless you want to roll your own interface program). It is intended to be used on high-volume servers that can't stand the overhead of starting a new spamassassin process for each email message. > How do i start spamassassin in order to filter my incomming mail. > Anyone..... That depends on your server. If it knows how to use spamd/spamc, then configure it according to its documentation. Otherwise, to filter an individual message in a file, use the spamassassin program (rather than spamd), e.g. "spamassassin /path/to/message/file". Or more likely you will want to pipe the message to spamassassin on stdin and get the marked-up message from stdout. If you need more detail than that, you probably should be looking at the documentation for your mail server or for spamassassin. Every server package seems to have a different way to do it. - Bob
