Mailing List Archive: RH8 how-to?

I hope that my quick perusal of the wiki and FAQs didn't overlook this -
but I have a couple of questions that I am hopeful someone on this list
could help me with.

1) Is there a RH8 how-to document anywhere? Something that leads to a
successful implementation of the current release (2.63)?
2) Are the RH8 issues also found in Fedora Core 1?
3) I have been using 2.31-16 on RH8 with what appears to be a reasonable
rate of false positives but an unacceptible rate of false negatives. Would
I expect the rate of false negatives to be reduced by moving to the current
release?
4) At times spamd gets stuck on a message and begins to suck cpu. Is this
something that is unique to me? or is it something others have seen as well?
Seems like the sol'n to that problem is to restart spamd. Is this an issue
that would likely be resolved by upgrading to the current release?

Thanks!
Lane.

What are the RH8 issues? Once I learned how to use it, I don't have any
issues with it in Fedora.

How many of the available rulesets are you using? Have you trained the
Bayes database with a suitable corpus of ham and spam? If you aren't doing
both of these things, you are missing the power of SA. It's great! - John
