[ale] SpamAssasin Testing

[Jonathan Glass]

Yes!  I have a "spam at ibb.gatech.edu" mail user, and
all email sent there automatically gets passed to
'sa-learn --spam' (along w/a few more options).  Check
out the site-wide option.  I configured a spam user
and stored all the bayesian stuff under it's
.spamassassin folder.

BTW, since (4:30) I added this account and some of the
rules from http://www.rulesemporium.com/, I've
received 80 spam messages, and only 3 have slipped
through.

Thanks
