I installed spamassassin on my server so I tested it out to make sure it works. And it does, I sent this email:

Get viagra for US $1,000,000 off in iraq today! PLEASE HELP URGENT!

I'm trying to setup a gateway server to filter out junk mail. It works locally, but what I need to do is make it so I can check it, and that the server checks external pop3 accounts. Once that part is done I'll be all set! My parants will be happy!

my setup is pretty much done so I'll be writing an article shortly. No fancy linux commands and files since I'm clueless myself but I'll show how using webmin.
