: which look spammy, then adds headers to the message so they can be

: 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
:

: (creating if necessary).
