[TriLUG] Spamassassin question - Bayesian filtering

[Turnpike Man]

Jeremy,

I'd love to get some hands on just getting started with Spamassassin!!  I've
been running sendmail for over a year now at home for my xyz.net domain and I
don't really use it for anything on a daily basis, hardly even close friends
b/c I don't wanna have tons of spam... which is inevitible once you start using
a certain email address.  I setup my roommate with an email account, he uses it
often, but I don't use it yet. (thus still my yahoo account)  Not being an
expert in RTFM (I learn better by show and tell)... where does one get a start!
 I'd like to be able to use sendmail in production at my place of work one day
too, and without something like Spamassassin, that would be hard, we get so
much junk on our generic accounts like info, webmaster, recruiter, etc.  I'll
be at the meeting tonite, hopefully to formalize my membership into TriLUG. 
See ya there.

David
