1/31    Can you give us any pointer for setting up spamassassin on csua under
        the new mail system?  TIA.
        \_ What I did is create a .procmailrc file in your homedir with the following
           content:

           :0 hw:
           * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
           spam

           And what this does is grab the email that SpamAssassin has tagged as
           spammail, strip out the body and shove the header info to a file
           called 'spam' in your homedir. And delete them from your mail spool.
           Works with the new soda (so far).

           NOTE that this is just ONE of the many variations on how to do
           .procmailrc.  STFG for more examples.
        \_ In /csua/soda-changes.2007.01, it mentioned that procmail will not
           work with the new /var/mail/$USERNAME directory.  Have you
           tried if you are still receiving non-spam correctly? -op

           ls: /usr/local/bin/spamc: No such file or directory
           (there is one in /usr/bin but it seems to be failing, any input
           I give it it returns 0/0 (error) and filters nada.
           \_ I am using /usr/bin/spamc
            \_ Which has no spamd to connect to so it fails every time
               \_ Well, this is what I have in my .procmailrc, and it
                  appears to work:
                  :0fw
                  | spamc

8/16    Why does my Y! mail account always full of unfiltered spam
        mails (and they're obviously spams)? Why can't they do
        a better job like Google mail? Why does Y! mail charge
        for exporting email? Google mail doesn't do that.

8/12    Ugg, no spamd any longer?  I figured I'd have to just give up on my
        soda address (sad, very sad) but Vacation doesn't seem to be installed
        either, so I can't even leave a mesg. to people telling them where
        tom mail me now.  Or can I ?  Any advice out there.  Or can we get
        spamassassin/spamd reinstalled or Vacation or... help....
        \_ Ha, gmail as spamassassin.  presently I am forwarding to gmail

        Spam King kills himself and his family after escaping prison

        Hopefully more spammers will take the hint.

8/18    trying to write an intentionally slow regex.
        what is your worst regex ever?
        this is using MySQL regexp but I'll also accept
        perl format         --brain
        \_ you need to know how regex is implemented internally in order to
           have a worst regex in terms of running time. Something that uses

7/17    Thanks to steven, et al. for restoring Soda. In lieu of www.csua providing
        status, could there be a text file with current status and future plans.
        I'm wondering if SpamAssassin is obsolete (and my procmailrc and scripts)
        and won't be restored, and what's filtering spam now.  thanks!
        \_ How do I buy steven a beer or donate gobs of money?
           \_ I got him a Hacker-Pschorr, he seems to like ales.  Prob IPAs

5/7     Dear csua, looks like /usr/bin/spamc and /usr/bin/formail don't exist
        on the emailer. I'm getting a bunch of binaries not found error
        on my .procmail-log.
    \_ Complaining via motd is not a reliable way to be heard and get your
       stuff fixed. Try emailing us. --t
