If you've been deluged with unfiltered spam in the last twelve hours,
as I have been, that's because the systems version of spamassassin
stopped running sometime last night.

Until they get it going again, you can run your own, by putting the
following in your .procmailrc :

# run spamassassin locally
:0fw
| /arch/unix/bin/spamassassin 

# file the spam
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Flag: YES
/dev/null

If you don't have a .procmailrc, create one with these lines in it.
Check it by sending yourself a message and looking at the headers to
see that the spamassassin headers are in place.
