179 "Blacklist MSG with SpamAssassin.
181 SpamAssassin is one of the more popular spam filtering programs.
182 Get it from your local distribution or from the SpamAssassin web
183 site at URL `http://spamassassin.org/'.
185 To use SpamAssassin, add the following recipes to
186 \".procmailrc\":
188 PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/mh
189 MAILDIR=$HOME/`mhparam Path`
191 # Fight spam with SpamAssassin.
192 :0fw
193 | spamc
195 # Anything with a spam level of 10 or more is junked immediately.
197 * ^X-Spam-Level: ..........
198 /dev/null
201 * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
202 spam/.
204 If you don't use \"spamc\", use \"spamassassin -P -a\".
206 Note that one of the recipes above throws away messages with a
207 score greater than or equal to 10. Here's how you can determine a
208 value that works best for you.
210 First, run \"spamassassin -t\" on every mail message in your
211 archive and use Gnumeric to verify that the average plus the
212 standard deviation of good mail is under 5, the SpamAssassin
213 default for \"spam\".
215 Using Gnumeric, sort the messages by score and view the messages
216 with the highest score. Determine the score which encompasses all
217 of your interesting messages and add a couple of points to be
218 conservative. Add that many dots to the \"X-Spam-Level:\" header
219 field above to send messages with that score down the drain.
221 In the example above, messages with a score of 5-9 are set aside
222 in the \"+spam\" folder for later review. The major weakness of
223 rules-based filters is a plethora of false positives so it is
224 worthwhile to check.
226 If SpamAssassin classifies a message incorrectly, or is unsure,
227 you can use the MH-E commands \\[mh-junk-blacklist] and
228 \\[mh-junk-whitelist].
230 The command \\[mh-junk-blacklist] adds a \"blacklist_from\" entry
231 to \"~/spamassassin/user_prefs\", deletes the message, and sends
232 the message to the Razor, so that others might not see this spam.
233 If the \"sa-learn\" command is available, the message is also
234 recategorized as spam.
236 The command \\[mh-junk-whitelist] adds a \"whitelist_from\" rule
237 to the \"~/.spamassassin/user_prefs\" file. If the \"sa-learn\"
238 command is available, the message is also recategorized as ham.
240 Over time, you'll observe that the same host or domain occurs
241 repeatedly in the \"blacklist_from\" entries, so you might think
242 that you could avoid future spam by blacklisting all mail from a
243 particular domain. The utility function
244 `mh-spamassassin-identify-spammers' helps you do precisely that.
245 This function displays a frequency count of the hosts and domains
246 in the \"blacklist_from\" entries from the last blank line in
247 \"~/.spamassassin/user_prefs\" to the end of the file. This
248 information can be used so that you can replace multiple
249 \"blacklist_from\" entries with a single wildcard entry such as:
251 blacklist_from *@*amazingoffersdirect2u.com
253 In versions of SpamAssassin (2.50 and on) that support a Bayesian
254 classifier, \\[mh-junk-blacklist] uses the program \"sa-learn\"
255 to recategorize the message as spam. Neither MH-E, nor
256 SpamAssassin, rebuilds the database after adding words, so you
257 will need to run \"sa-learn --rebuild\" periodically. This can be
258 done by adding the following to your crontab:
260 0 * * * * sa-learn --rebuild > /dev/null 2>&1"
