Re: Training SPAM Assassin and keeping it upto date automatically

[Rick Zeman <RZ...@melwood.org>]

Hiya,

Silly newbie question, but how does one go about adding a rule like this
to a 3.2.1 installation (in a Maia/amavis solution)?  
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/WhereDoLocalSettingsGo says to drop
the .cf file in /etc/mail/spamassassin but doesn't indicate that anything
else needs to be done.  Is it really that easy?

Thanks!

As far as the greeting card spams are concerned, here's a specific 
rule that appears to work well:
