Quick question on spamassasin: Will this work for those that do not use
fetchmail to download mail to server? I simply get my mail by using
mozilla-thunderbird. In my case, I guess I'd just click on the "Junk
Mail" button, although I'm afraid that it will begin to throw out good
messages on this list. However, I don't mind simply deleting. I just
thought that I'd make the observation in case there might be other
options. Thanks again.

If you are using t-bird to get mail directly from a pop server, then I
think you're stuck. But you COULD, setup fetchmail to get your mail,
reconfig exim to use spamassassin and whatever else you want) and then
deliver that mail to your mail locally for t-bird to pick up. but that
may be using a 2x4 to swat a fly, I don't know. Can t-bird pipe messages
through external programs? If so, you might look at bogofilter as its
stupid easy to setup and train.
