I've tried to get this running but when I run the sendmail.logs.pl at a
command prompt using

perl sendmail.logs.pl

I get the following
0
Not Applicable
BB Mail Servers

I understand the last bit is because I haven't altered this in the
script but not the other two lines. I have ensured that the script is
looking in the correct place for mailog

What text should I be looking for in /var/log/mailog to ensure that they
are being tagged as Spam etc.

Help
