Re: Reporting spam by forwarded/attached message

[Luis Hernán Otegui <lu...@gmail.com>]

Well, I got it working (started a thread like this one month ago or so)
thanks to some other users contributions.
What I did (following someone elses instructions) was insert these lines in
local.cf:
<code>
bayes_ignore_header ReSent-Date
bayes_ignore_header ReSent-From
bayes_ignore_header ReSent-Message-ID
bayes_ignore_header ReSent-Subject
bayes_ignore_header ReSent-To
all_spam_to spam@mydomain.tld
</code>

and after that, set up the spam account, and generate a script to teach
spamassassin the forwarded messages. Maybe the bash programming could be
improved, but it's working for me like this:

<code>
#!/bin/bash
result_spam=$(ls /usr/local/virtual/spam@mydomain.tld/new | wc -l)
if [ $result_spam -ne 0 ]
        then
            spamassassin -r -d  --progress < /usr/local/virtual/spam@
mydomain.tld/new
            echo 1 > /var/tmp/sa-state
            rm -f /usr/local/virtual/spam@mydomain.tld/new/*
fi
</code>

This script runs through cron once an hour along with some others which scan
my users IMAP folders (some of them only use a webmail, and some use MUAs,
such as Outlook Express), seach for spam and ham folders, checks if they're
not empty, and learn from their contents (that's why I put that "echo"
sentence. BTW, if anyone knows a better way to check for the existence of
spam in the precedent script, I will gladly accept their tips...

When I finish polishing this, I promess to make a nice package and share it.
