sa-learn

Am i right in saying that if you do nothing after installing 3.0 (leave 
everything default) then the SURIBLs arent enabled.

if you dont manually feed anything into your bayes db - it doesnt do 
anything fancy for you? because for every message flagged as spam in 
syslog atm it has the flag 'autolearn=no' attached

SURBL checks are enabled by default.

I believe that SURIBLs are enabled by default, but I guess we are both
too lazy to check.

This could be for a number of reasons, including permissions problems.
Its best to run spamassassin or spamd with the -D parameter and like you
normally run it.  By "normally run it", I mean with the same user AND
HOME environment variable and with the proper '-u' flag if used.

my problem is that SA is running on the mailhubs while all the mailboxes 
are on the mail servers. is there a flag to pass to sa-learn that will 
read remote imap folders or do i just have to copy them onto a dir on 
the 'local' machine!?
