Basic rules

• Before asking a question:
  • Wiki Markupcheck \[http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin\]
  • Wiki Markupcheck the \[http://spamassassin.apache.org/doc.html documentation\], especially \[http://spamassassin.apache.org/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf\] 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.
• If you're using a front-end for SpamAssassin (such as Amavisd, MailScanner, or spamass-milter) instead of using the "spamassassin" script or "spamc" 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.If
• In general, you're using a front-end, you might get better luck mailing the SpamAssassin-Users list (MailingLists). Generally, there aren't that many people on the IRC channel, and there are more people on the mailing list, and more likelihood that someone will be running the same front-end.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 Wiki MarkupUse \[http://sial.org/pbot/spamassassin/ the pastebot\] instead of pasting/flooding.
