BigEvil and stuff... HOWTO

[Rob]

Thanks... sounds the same as what the Stephan sent me, at that website
(http://www.fsl.com/support/index.html) they have a package to install with
SpamcopURi and URI , it created a cf file to dump in /etc/mail/spamassassin/
named surbl_uri.cf

The install instruction were ok but after the install I assume I just do a
/etc/init.d/Mailscanner reload, after I removed the bigevil.cf file from
/etc/mail/spamassassin/

So I guess I should be ok?

Then I will go back and read up on the new way of doing this....

Rob....
