Yes, I have that file, but I never modified it, so I think it should
work. Or do I have to modify it to really work?
Germán.
It should work but there are things you can modify in the file to
improve its performance. I see you are thinking to switch to Bogofilter.
I have always used spamassassin on a non-server and it works well for
me. But maybe in your environment Bogofillter will work better
One more thing. You have evolution-spamassassin installed and have
configured evolution to use spamassassin?
