Good move;-)

show that it already is accumulating information automatically. When
both reach 200 (or whatever the limit has been set to... if changed
from the defaults), It'll start scoring too. You will notice that this
affects a lot of rules:).

Set this in MailScanner.conf (SpamAssassin User State Dir or similar
(not at work ATM:)), and/or in your local.cf (or mailscanner.cf) (I
suppose one could well do this... No docs at home and my broadband
imitating a 9600 modem... You look it up:-)

These are further indicators that it cannot write to the standard
~postfix/.spamassassin directory (I usually "cure" this by creating
this directory and chowning it to postfix:postfix ... along with
.pyzor and .razor directories)

These, although "sinister looking" are actually a good indicator that
it'll eventually start using it:-)... So... Looking good;)

Yep, you need create ~postfix/.pyzor too... and make postfix own it.

Hm, somethings bad with dccproc too... Needs some TLC too, it seems:-).

If I get the VPN to actually accept my credentials, I'll look at that
later tonight.
