Virus filtering works (woohoo!) so I went on to the next step to set up spamass-milter.
OK, I have spamass-milter installed, spamd is running. spamc works (it executes anyhow), but I tried sending the classic kind of spam with the following contents:
Subject:
re: your email
body:
cheap X prescriptions!
http://cheaprx.com/X
I tried sending it as a "to" and as a "bcc" and both made it through. I tried sending from both a remote shell account and from my hotmail account.
I went to /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf and changed the threshold to 1.0 and restarted spamd (rcspamd) and the email still made it through - SpamAssassin is checking the emails, as you can see from the headers:

X-Spam-Status: No, score=0.5 required=1.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BLANK_LINES_70_80,

X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.0.4 (2005-06-05) on mail.biyn.local
MIME-Version: 1.0

Now, does it appear that this is correctly configured?
Secondly, how do I feed SpamAssassin ham and spam to train it? I have thousands of each on my exchange box from an ASSP installation I could use.
