[newbie] Is this right?

[Steve Mansfield <sy...@wanadoo.fr>]

Hi folks,

I've just joined having finally got around to installing SA on my system 
running SuSE 8.2. It's taken a bit of Googling to get things going, 
especially with having to edit the init.d script for SuSE 8.2. So I just want 
to check that I'm on the right track.

SA and spamd/spamc all seem to be installed fine and running. I use Kmail and 
have set up a filter to pipe mail through spamc, and that seems to be 
happening fine too.

However, I receive mail in a couple of ways. I have lots of email addresses. 
With some I download directly from POP3 servers using Kmail, so that's 
straightforward. With others, I use Fetchmail (run as a cron job) to retrieve 
from POP3 servers. For the most part (though not exclusively) I then use 
Kmail to read this mail. Now, if I set up .procmailrc for each user to run 
incoming mail through SA, that means it's going to get checked a second time 
when I read the email with Kmail - is that right?

I've set up a filter in Kmail which sits just above the one that pipes mail 
through spamc. This filter looks for the header 'X-Spam-Checker-Version' to 
see if it contains 'SpamAssassin' and if so, writes a new header (pretty 
arbitrary, just to give it something to do) and stops. I *think* this should 
prevent the mail getting run through SA again because it shouldn't reach that 
filter.

Am I on the right track, or is there a more elegant way to do this?

BTW, this is a personal system running as a mail server for a home network (5 
users).

Any recommendations for web sites that give a definitive guide to running SA 
in language that a non-geek like me can understand would be most welcome. I 
guess at some point I'm going to want to starting tweaking stuff.

Digest:SHA1 problem with sa-learn?

[Ove Jansson <oj...@interact.se>]

Hello,

I keep getting this message when i run sa-learn (bellow 2 times, one for
ham and one for spam):
- Bayes seems to be working anyway
- I have updated Digest::SHA1 with cpan

Any ideas before i start upgrade _everything_ ?

Regards, Ove
