2. Configuration

For Computer Science users that use netra to receive mail, there are two scripts that will help you get started with SpamAssassin. They are located on cyndra in /usr/local/bin, and are called "spamassassin-install" and i "spamassassin-uninstall". "spamassassin-install" creates a .procmailrc file, while "spamassassin-uninstall" moves the .procmailrc file to .procmailrc-off. Once the install program has been run, you'll need to edit the .procmailrc file to decide what happens to mail marked as spam. A sample procmail rule is given, and can simply be uncommented. Alternative to using the scripts provided in /usr/local/bin, a template .procmailrc file is also available at /usr/local/spamassassin/.procmailrc.
