To speed things + up, it is useful to tell SpamAssassin to always use + "en_US" encoding when doing regex matching of + strings. Open + <filename>/etc/init.d/spamassassin</filename> in your + editor, and add one extra line right after the PATH + definition: + </para> + <programlisting> + ... + [ -f /usr/bin/spamd -o -f /usr/local/bin/spamd ] || exit 0 + PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin + <userinput>LANG=en_US</userinput> + + # See how we were called. + ... + </programlisting> + <para> + Save and restart spamassassin by issuing + "<command>service spamassassin + restart</command>."
