-If you don't use `spamc', use `spamassassin -P -a'.
-
-Note that one of the recipes above throws away messages with a score greater
-than or equal to 10. Here's how you can determine a value that works best for
-you.
-
-First, run `spamassassin -t' on every mail message in your archive and use
-Gnumeric to verify that the average plus the standard deviation of good mail
-is under 5, the SpamAssassin default for \"spam\".
-
-Using Gnumeric, sort the messages by score and view the messages with the
-highest score. Determine the score which encompasses all of your interesting
-messages and add a couple of points to be conservative. Add that many dots to
-the `X-Spam-Level:' header field above to send messages with that score down
-the drain.
-
-In the example above, messages with a score of 5-9 are set aside in the
-`+spam' folder for later review. The major weakness of rules-based filters is
-a plethora of false positives so it is worthwhile to check.
-
-If SpamAssassin classifies a message incorrectly, or is unsure, you can use
-the MH-E commands \\[mh-junk-blacklist] and \\[mh-junk-whitelist].
-
-The \\[mh-junk-blacklist] command adds a `blacklist_from' entry to
-`~/spamassassin/user_prefs', deletes the message, and sends the message to the
-Razor, so that others might not see this spam. If the `sa-learn' command is
-available, the message is also recategorized as spam.
-
-The \\[mh-junk-whitelist] command adds a `whitelist_from' rule to the
-`~/.spamassassin/user_prefs' file. If the `sa-learn' command is available, the
-message is also recategorized as ham.
-
-Over time, you'll observe that the same host or domain occurs repeatedly in
-the `blacklist_from' entries, so you might think that you could avoid future
-spam by blacklisting all mail from a particular domain. The utility function
-`mh-spamassassin-identify-spammers' helps you do precisely that. This function
-displays a frequency count of the hosts and domains in the `blacklist_from'
-entries from the last blank line in `~/.spamassassin/user_prefs' to the end of
-the file. This information can be used so that you can replace multiple
-`blacklist_from' entries with a single wildcard entry such as:
