Description Ashok Jani 2006-07-18 07:55:17 UTC 
Dear Dev,

I have configured spamassassin version 3.1.3 on SuSE linux in order to take 
care of small site wide e-mail server. As suggested I have configured a mail 
account named spamtrap to train the spamassassin for the spam mails. It seems 
that the working of this account and the training of spammassassin 
through .procmailrc configuration, particularly /usr/bin/spamassassin -r -d is 
working fine. because the proclog generated shows all fine execution. 

But when I sent the same mail which is earlier trained as spam to the 
spamassassin to other account on the same server the spamassassin doen't 
identify the mail as spam which is unexpected. 

It declares many other well known spam mails as spam if I send those mail to 
the same mail account. So the engine and other mechanisms are working well on 
the server. 

How do I come to know that the spamassassin is being trained in right way?
Why spamassassin is not declaring the mail as spam which is earlier trained as 
spam?
