Spam

[Chris Lyttle]

Linas,

Its great that you reconfigured them, but just marking the mail as spam
doesn't help, you need to remove some. I suggest setting a high number,
like 8 or 9 in spamassassin and deleting the messages that get that.
This is really the only practical way to do it as otherwise we continue
to get the same volume, just marked as spam.
