Dealing with 'Pharmacy' emails...

[Jason Williams]

Thought i'd post a few things that I came across to help solve my situation.

Since im running FreeBSD, instead of most files and directories being in
/etc/, mine are in /usr/local/etc...

Now, I put the anti-drug.cf file that I got from the SA emporium and
dropped it into /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin. I'm pretty sure that is
the correct place to .cf files...

Now, after running spamsassasin -D --lint as well as spamassassin -D -p
/usr/local/etc/Mailscanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf

Obviously, two different results, but my thinking is that I may be missing
something, that I need to setup in spamassassin to get it to find the .cf
rules.

I'm looking through the FAQ and MAQ right now, but thought i'd post what
i've found out so far.

I appreciate the help.
