Ok I ran that and fixed an error in the whitelist.cf file it seems i
missed putting the server on one of the whitelist_from_rcvd files not
sure if that really was the issue or not.  I guess I just have to wait
and see.  I have attached the output in a text file for easier reading.
I did notice one problem it said that I had one Ham message.  What would
you suggest to start feed ham to Bayes?  I thought it was supposed to
feed itself non spam?

I understand that ever implementation of spamassassin is different but
do any of you have a sort of check list to make sure that I am at least
doing something right.  I have a qmailtoaster mail server and use
several blacklists.  Plus the default spamassassin stuff nothing out of
the ordinary.  

I just want to try and get this so I can focus on other things instead
of listening to complaining all the time.


Thanks for all your guidance.
