Windows Questions
I have SpamAssassin install with Perl 5.8.8 on a W2K3 box.
SA is the latest version.
I would like to setup the following
I need to know how to setup wrongmx.pm and wrongmx.cf so that email that
does not go to my spam filter first will be deleted. I also want to do this
for only one domain on my server, we have 26 domains.
Any help would be appreciated as I am new to SA.
Mike

Yeah, put the plugin files in your local config directory... that's the
same directory that has you local.cf file.
If you want to only enable the WRONG_MX rule for a particular domain,
you'll have to configure per user or domain scoring.
None of this is specific to this particular plugin. Please seek help on
the users lists.

Not really. I have no idea how you've got your SA setup on Windows and
you haven't asked anything specific.

I wouldn't do that. There's lots of legit mail that will show up at
your lower preference MXes for no apparent reason. Lotus Domino seems
to do it quite often.
In any case, you'd add both files to your local config directory.
Comment out or set the scores to zero for the WRONG_MX rule and then
assign a score on a per domain basis for the rule.
