Re: Disappearing Disk Space

[Jim Strickland <jims@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, I deleted the Spamassassin filter and sure enough, the loss of hard disk space stopped. I then recreated the SpamAssassin filter in PO. Unfortunately, now it is not catching any spam at all. My logs show that the filter is loading but it just doesn't seem to be actually checking for spam. Any ideas why?
