  /etc/init.d/MailScanner reload

will do it.

Do a

  spamassassin -D --lint -p /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf

first to make sure the rules lint OK.

So I downloaded and added to /etc/mail/spamassisain a few custom cf files I
got from a site mentioned here... do I have to do anything to make SA see
them? Just restart MS /etc/init.d/Mailscanner restart ?

Thanks  for everyone's help!

Rob....

It has 100's of the token.expire files. I can delete these right? I mean up
to a recent date? But funny enough this morning I had about 300 of them that
filled up my root partition and all were dated May 25th & 26th

And I am running 2.63

I had a similar problem a few weeks back.  It turns out it was due to the
large size of my bayes database (~150MB).  The fix for me was to upgrade to
SA 2.63 and recreate the bayes set.

What does your /root/.spamassassin directory look like?

I seem to be getting allot of spam in the last 2 weeks, here is an example
of headers from a popular one... it seems like it was not even scanned for
spam or that mailscanner did not see it as spam at all??


I am using SA 2.63 and MS 4.28.6-1

Any help appreciated....

Thanks...
