Introduction
#spamassassin is an IRC channel hosted at irc.freenode.net (use irc.us.freenode.net if you're in the U.S. or irc.eu.freenode.net if you're in Europe) dedicated to online discussion with other SpamAssassin users. Now and again, the developers have also been known to chat about development issues on the channel. Freenode servers include irc.us.freenode.net, irc.eu.freenode.net, etc. To join, you need an IRC client such as xchat, irssi, or bitchx.
Basic rules
- Before asking a question:
- check wiki.spamassassin.org
- check the documentation, especially Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf if the answer is probably an option
- use google
- Don't ask to ask, be patient, and state your problem clearly and specifically. Don't speak in vague terms, say exactly what your problem is and what you're trying to do.
- There aren't that many people on the channel, so please don't waste our time if you're not using the "spamassassin" script or "spamc", ask on spamassasin-users list where there are more people and someone might be running the same front-end as you.
- use http://sial.org/pbot/spamassassin/ instead of pasting/flooding
