_________________________ / / / SMM-SPAMASSASSIN HOWTO / /________________________/ This howto explains how to configure spamassassin to make it usefull for smm purposes. INTRODUCTION smm can use spamassassin engine on partially downloaded mails. I think this is a great feature, since the standard spamassassin usage is on fully downloaded emails, while users with a slow dialup connection would like to optimize bandwidth usage. THE PROBLEM Since spamasassin thinks that is working with a complete email, it gives some penalities to uncomplete messages, for example a message with a truncated attachment has a 0.2 penality. But a good message, partially downloaded with smm, will probably have something truncated. THE SOLUTION You only need to add this line to your ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs (you can change this file from the spamassassin plugin configuration window) score MIME_MISSING_BOUNDARY 0 CONSIDERATIONS I'm not a spamassassin guru, so there may be other useless checks to remove.
