Basic rules

• Before asking a question:
  • Wiki Markupcheck \[http://wiki.spamassassinapache.org/ wiki.spamassassin.org\]unmigrated-wiki-markup
  • check the \[http://spamassassin.org/doc.html documentation\], especially \[http://spamassassin.org/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf\] if the answer is probably an option
  • Wiki Markupuse \[http://www.google.com/ Google\] or any other search engine of your choice
• Don't ask to ask, be patient, and state your problem clearly and specifically. Don't speak in vague terms, say exactly what your problem is and what you're trying to do.
• There aren't that many people on the channel, so please don't waste our time if you're not If you're using a front-end for SpamAssassin (such as Amavisd, MailScanner, or spamass-milter) instead of using the "spamassassin" script or "spamc" , ask on spamassasin-users list where there are more people and someone might be running the same front-end as you.tool directly, then try to reproduce the issue with just those apps first. The issue may lie with the front-end instead of SpamAssassin itself.
• In general, you're better off asking questions on the 'users' mailing list instead of IRC; the IRC channel is a secondary forum, and infrequently monitored. If you do ask on IRC, and nobody answers, don't keep asking – it's likely that nobody who's on the channel knows the answer, and you'd be better off asking the list.
• Use pastebin instead of pasting/flooding. Wiki MarkupUse \[http://sial.org/pbot/spamassassin/ the pastebot\] instead of pasting/flooding
