How to create my own test.


Hi, 

I have five servers and it a bit of a pain to have to use
webmin to appy the same rules. What I like to do is create my own
dictionary or test file, so that I can just scp it from the box that I
have created and test one. 

If you know link that explain how
to that would be really great. 

Thanks

PS. the
reason is to stop those damn greeting cards.

As a pity, your link gives a 404 :-(

I'd like to use that too.

just create a file with the extension .cf in the /etc/mail/spamassassin
directory.

I've found http://www.impsec.org/~jhardin/antispam/postcard.cf to be
very effective at killing those off.  I throw away a few thousand a day:
[mcdonalddj@sa ~]$ sudo grep POSTCARD_01 /var/log/mail/info | cut -d \
-f1,2 | uniq -c
