Would someone that is successful using spamassassin to filter most
spam be willing to contact me offlist for some help?
I've tweaked spamassassin, added rulesets (rulesdujour), lowered the
required_hits to 4.0, and I'm still having 2nd grade girls getting
junkmail regarding male pills...
I have angry parents, angry teachers -- and I understand why! (Yes,
I know spam is a fact of life on the internet, but I'm doing
something wrong I think, because it's really ridiculous the amount
that is getting through)
I'm using:
K12LTSP 4.2.1 as my mail server
Spamassassin 3.0.4 (latest in the updates from k12linux)
sendmail
/etc/procmailrc (yes, I know not the most efficient, but I haven't
had time to get a milter to work)
RulesDuJour -- to get a ton of rules (I added this on Friday, didn't
help much)
I have not set up bayesian stuff -- because I believe that I'd have
to get thousands of spam and ham to make it work -- and I don't have
the resources to do that (resources = time). Is that my only chance
to filter all the crap that's coming in? Should I invest in a 3rd
party solution?
Thanks for any insight,
-Shawn
