Hi VLUG.

I happened across an article last night that gave me a leg up against spam.
After having followed the instructions, this morning I found 5 new spam and 
phishing emails in my spambox, which lead me to belive the new rulesets are 
working:  Spamassassin "rules_du_jour" in fact.  (these phishing emails 
always seemed to end up in my inbox).

It's a simple matter of downloading a new ruleset script.  chmod-ing it, 
creating a new dir and config file (about 3 or 4 simple lines to edit) and a 
new cronjob.  All cearly explained .... <My big bug bear with 'nix ...the man 
pages were written by some 'nix guru on some planet in the 4 dimension>

Anyways, here's the link:
