spamassassin config questions

[John McKee]

Thanks for the reply.  SpamAssassin was installed, but a while back I
attempted to use dSpam and that was getting in the way.

One more question(s).  Spam is still getting through.  Is there a log of
spamassassin's actions?  In the webmin module>"what to do with spam" it
currently says "deliver" for spam actions.  Should this be set to
something else?  If so, what?

Thanks,
John
