As usual, I post my questions without enough context.
The mail server in question is based on the ClarkConnect distribution. =20
ClarkConnect 2.0 is based on Red Hat 9 and comes with lots of stuff=20
pre-configured. Very easy to setup. It had the Postfix and SpamAssassin=20
already to go with a very simple web based adminitration interface. The we=
b=20
based interface just has simple enable options and not much else. After th=
at=20
it should "just work."
The problem is that ClarkConnect does not come with fetchmail so I installe=
d=20
that myself manually. That is why I think the default SpamAssassin operati=
on=20
is not "seeing" the email from fetchmail and is therefore not filtering it.=
=20
Since I did not fully configure the SpamAssassin, I was asking for quick=20
information or pointers to where the issue may lie.
