Using SpamAssassin

I just followed this SpamAssassin tutorial*. Conveniently, I found it in the Surpass help forum. I don't know if I did it all right yet since it hasn't been running long enough to learn/catch anything, but the process seemed easy enough.

I mainly decided to flip it on because the email address I use with this webpage gets a ton of spam, and unless I leave my laptop up and running while I'm not home, the junk doesn't get filtered out when I check my webmail.

I just Googled "spamassassin tutorial" and it looks like a lot of the tutorials out there are more about how to work with SA when you have it installed on your own computer/server/whatever. I appreciate that SA is all powerful and configurable like that, but that shit doesn't make any damn sense whatsoever.

What I like about the tutorial I found in the help forum is that it steps through how to configure SA in cPanel. This involves flipping some switches in your Mail settings, creating a new directory and file within your home directory, and then setting a cron job.

So there ya go, if you're interested.

*I'm logged into that forum, but I'm not positive that you can see the thread without being logged in. Somebody let me know if you can't get to it.
