Basic rules
- Before asking a question:
check [http://wiki.spamassassin.org/ wiki.spamassassin.org]
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
use [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 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.
Use [http://sial.org/pbot/spamassassin/ the pastebot] instead of pasting/flooding
