[gentoo-user] Spamassassin: Ignoring setup ???

[gentoo-user] Spamassassin: Ignoring setup ???

[Meino Christian Cramer]

Hi,

 I am using spamassassin in combination with exim and Emacs/Mew to
 handle my mails. 

 Everything seems to work well. Spamassassin recognizes spam and write
 a 

   X-Spam_score: 5.1
   X-Spam_score_int: 51
   X-Spam_bar: +++++
   X-Spam_report: Spam detection software, running on the system "solfire", has	identified this incoming email as possible spam.

 -field into the header of suspicious mails (exact output depends on
 the spam contents itsself).

 Unfortunately I haven't figured out how to convince Mew to scan not
 only the "official" mail header parts like "To:", "From:" and such
 but also any other entry in the header.

 What remains is: I have to look for spam myself and being "happy",
 that spamassassin has judged this or that mail as spam also.

 It would be nice, if spamassassin would put a "***SPAM***" directly
 into the "Subject:"-field, which can be scanned by Mew.

 In /etc/spamassassin/local.cf I found the following entry:

    #   Add *****SPAM***** to the Subject header of spam e-mails
    #
    rewrite_header Subject *****SPAM*****
    add-header
 
 but.....it seems to achieve nothing.

 Do I have to "enable" this somewhere else? Or why is spamassassin
 silently ignoring my wishes.

 Am I spam mysself ? ;) ;O))

 I would be hapy about any hint about this problem!
 Kind regards,
 Meino Cramer

Did you install spam assassin from emerge, CPAN, or other source?
My CPAN version looks for /etc/mail/spamassassin/* for example.
If you do
#vi `which spamd`
you can see where it is looking for the config files.

Might be a good start.
