report_contact Won't Change
Greetings,
I've been trying to stop Spamassassin from sending any more spam notices to
me, so I changed it in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf but I'm still getting
messages sent to the same email address...what am I missing here?

you should aks on the amavisd users list. but you'll have to explain
what kid of notifications you want to disable.
if you are talking about notifications to the admin, comment out
virus_admin_maps and spam_admin_maps.

Ok, thank you.
I'm using Postfix, Amavisd-new, ClamAV and SQLGrey. Do you know where I
would enable or disable receiving this notice in any of these? I've been
looking and looking and I can't seem to find anything...

It is not. report_contact is for providing an email address for a support
contact in the "this is a spam" report text that is optionally added to a
message that is scored as spam. It does not (at least within SA) generate
any new email messages to that address, or reroute spams to that address.

To reiterate: SA only scores, and may reformat spams. If spammy messages
are being misfiled or alert messages are being sent, then some other tool
is the culprit. Look downstream from SA in your mail processing chain.

Health Care _is_ a right - the government has no business keeping
you from getting it. But forcing somebody else to pay for your
health care at gunpoint (i.e. through taxation) is _not_ a right.

Well, there is a report_contact setting in SA local.cf...are you saying that
that is not relevant here?

SA does not send, block, or route mail. it is an expert who says this is
probably spam and this is probably ham. Routing and other transport
decisions are taken by whatever tool you use to run SA.
