Description : SpamAssassin provides you with a way to reduce if not completely
: eliminate Unsolicited Commercial Email (SPAM) from your incoming
: email. It can be invoked by a MDA such as sendmail or postfix, or
: can be called from a procmail script, .forward file, etc. It uses
: a genetic-algorithm evolved scoring system to identify messages
: which look spammy, then adds headers to the message so they can be
: filtered by the user's mail reading software. This distribution
: includes the spamd/spamc components which create a server that
: considerably speeds processing of mail.
:
: To enable spamassassin, if you are receiving mail locally, simply
: add this line to your ~/.procmailrc:
: INCLUDERC=/etc/mail/spamassassin/spamassassin-default.rc
:
: To filter spam for all users, add that line to /etc/procmailrc
: (creating if necessary).
