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?
Hi Aaron:
Yes, I have configured evo to use spamassassin, I always used it and
worked well, but as I said before, in the last months it is not working
as before. Now I have switched to bogofilter and it seems to be faster
and it's working well... let's see what happens in a near future :)
All the best,
Germán.
