Emails Not Bouncing

Tue May 11 20:50:03 IST 2004

DCC works now :)  It's in this file that I missed to turn it on in:
mcp.spam.assassin.prefs.conf  But use_bayes is still to 0.

is spam, spamhaus-XBL, SBL+XBL, spamcop.net, CBL, SpamAssassin
(score=17.952, required 4, autolearn=spam,
CLICK_BELOW 0.00, DATE_SPAMWARE_Y2K 4.40, DCC_CHECK 1.81, FORGED_MUA_OIMO
2.70,
FORGED_YAHOO_RCVD 0.48, FROM_NUM_AT_WEBMAIL 1.10, MISSING_MIMEOLE 1.15,
PYZOR_CHECK
0.32, RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET 2.25, RCVD_IN_DSBL 1.10, RCVD_IN_DYNABLOCK
2.55,
RCVD_IN_SORBS 0.10)

DCC_CHECK 1.81  - finally it's working.  I've started to read through the
manual and found the part talking about auto learn.  So hopefully I can
figure out how to use it or not use it properly.  And good job on the manual
whoever did it - excellant job.  Wish I would have had that when I first
started using mail scanner.
