I caught up on some chores this weekend:

Got spamassassin working against my qmail server. No problems there... I =
am
running it as a system wide service and it just works.

If anyone is unfamiliar with spamassassin, it works by reading your mail =
and
giving each message marks based on how 'spam like' it is. Once a message =
has
been identified as spam it can be tagged or disposed of.

I choose to leave the default tagging on (which has the advantage of
disguising HTML mail: a new trick is apparently to have HTML messages
automatically write back to the spammer so they know you exist even if =
you
don't reply to them).

Spamassassin picks up _a lot_ of false positives if you're on mailing =
lists
and the easiest way to sort that out is to set up whitelists in local =
user
accounts.

Today, Sunday, is a day when I don't get email typically. This morning I =
got
one email and 25 spams and Spamasssassin cleared them all into trash
automagically. I still flick through the headers at present to make sure
everything is spam but once I am happy that will stop.

Over the course of a week I have had 2 or 3 spams that got through but =
am
typically getting 20 a day, so that's not bad. The ones that get through
seem to be fairly ordinary plain text messages, which you'd expect. I =
could
blacklist them and will if they repeat.

I also had another go at CUPS printing on my samba server for windows
clients. Still no joy... My conf files were set up correctly when =
compared
with Dave's. I have now given up and will try again with RH8.1.

Now to start learning php...
