Software and Hardware -> testing spamassassin :P

Red Squirrel - Apr-14-2004 server time

I installed spamassassin on my server so I tested it out to make sure it works. And it does, I sent this email: Get viagra for US $1,000,000 off in iraq today! PLEASE HELP URGENT! And here's how it scored: SPAM: -------------------- Start SpamAssassin results ---------------------- SPAM: This mail is probably spam. The original message has been altered SPAM: so you can recognise or block similar unwanted mail in future. SPAM: See http://spamassassin.org/tag/ for more details.

It works locally, but what I need to do is make it so I can check it, and that the server checks external pop3 accounts. Once that part is done I'll be all set! My parants will be happy!
