I made also the enries in filters.in.tab like in the descrition from Drakeconsult. but...itseems that something is wrong...Spam is entering. Assassin gets its cf files from etc/spammassassin (it's configured with webmin). There are a lot of rules in. -- Has somebody seen instruction step by step for solving, for testing Assassin ?

Linux: "Where do you want to go tomorrow?" FreeBSD: "Are you guys coming or what?"

I sent from anoter account a copy of each mail to an account within the xmail server. And it worked, nearly all spam mails where recognized...- my question is now ok. ----- Another question (was not explained in spam assassin description): I've now in the /etc/mail/spamassassin directory also anothers .cf files (eg airmax.cf ...) Are there all recognized automaticly as rule files from spam assassin ? (because they are in this directory) Or is only the local.cf involved and the others must have a entry in this file ?

Liron.
