See my other post. I have checked the list moderator section and found
no posts of yours that I would need to approve of. Can you mail me your
subscriber address off-list and, if you have, the queue ID of the 250 Ok
response of the bogofilter.org mail server? It should be in your
maillog. I've set Followup-To: poster for your convenience.

SpamAssassin's Bayes stuff is way slow. I don't like it and have
therefore set "use_bayes 0" (without quote marks) in
/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf

If you don't like bogofilter, you can try out SpamProbe if you like that
better, it's also hosted on SourceForge and is also a decent piece of
software.

HTH,
