SA and legitimate mails.

[Marcin Praczko <ma...@2fluid.co.uk>]

Hi There,

I have a question about SA and legitimate mails.

Main mail server is receiving a lot of emails from Internet, and should to filter mails (which are spam and which are not spam). But also it is sending a lot of legitimate emails. On this server are quite a lot of virtual domains. 

So I would like to ask about some links, paper, good examples, or reply help what is the best practice to do that. 

Would like to have:
- if emails are going from Internet - SPAM filter is ON
- if I sending legitimate emails (from some account) SPAM filter should be OFF.

Is it possible have this kind of configuration, I believe yes. 

I am using following setting to mail server.
Qmail, SpamAssassin, ClamAV, JgreyList. 

Thank you for your help.

Hey Marcin,
I don't know your exact qmail setup.
Mine is qmail <-> Simscan <-> SpamAssassin
Using the access control tcp.smtp file, and its rules, depending on the 
incoming connection's origin, it redirects the mail to simscan (that 
will check with SpamAssassin and act accordingly).

So if connection comes from within local lans or localhost, mail is sent 
directly, if not, it goes thru spamassassin.
Regards

Spamassassin checks all mails passed to it. So you need to not pass any 
mail to it you don't want scanned. I'd ask on a qmail list if you don't 
get any suggestions here.

It sounds like you want to bypass SA altogether for locally generated  
emails. Maybe the qmail mailing list can help?
