[geeks] Ok, going to try one more shot at this

[Geek]

Well, last time I turned it on all I got was a half dozen messages in
the span of 5 minutes that had only the *****SPAM***** and the summary
of why it saw the message as spam. I assuem this is due to a very strict
setting at first enable. Here is the contents of the user_prefs file as
it stands.

# SpamAssassin user preferences file.  See 'man
Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf' for
# details of what can be tweaked.
#*
#* Note: this file is never read by SpamAssassin.  Instead, it will be
copied
#* to a user's home directory, allowing them to perform personalised
#* customisation.  If you want to make changes to the site-wide
defaults,
#* create a file in /etc/spamassassin or /etc/mail/spamassassin instead.

| FYI, here's what it does with a completely default configuration.  As
you
| can see, it adds its summary at the start of the message, not the end,
but
