Disabling SpamAssassin would make e-mail unusable since I > get hundreds of spam e-mails a day. well, Jon, if you look above the "#" in a dot qmail file means to drop the email and not deliver. also, you are running S/A as a very expensive daemon above, calling the main S/A for each mail received... If you must do it this way, please see http://www.magma.com.ni/~jorge/spamassassin.html I think a better way is to use the S/A client in a .qmail file, and have the S/A daemon running... A very nice way to do this is at. http://www.gbnet.net/~jrg/qmail/ifspamh/ You can put this in any or all .qmail- files you have, and this works well. -- Gary
