apache.org mail filter request

[Daniel Quinlan <qu...@pathname.com>]

Can someone make these two changes:

1. change the SpamAssassin score for ALL_TRUSTED to -10.0

   This will absolutely prevent any locally message from being marked as
   spam.  -10.0 should be low enough and it appears to be working
   correctly (not marking non-local stuff as ALL_TRUSTED).  :-)

   This should reduce unnecessary MODERATION requests a bit and make
   possible #2 below.

2. set things up so commits@spamassassin.apache.org will reject (as in
   550) messages with a score above 5.0.

   That should be safe because: Wiki and commit messages are sent
   directly from a trusted host and the odds of a reply that will score
   above 5.0 are nearly nil because there just aren't many replies on
   the commits list, most go to dev@ as they should.  I checked the
   entire list history and this should more than safe.

Thanks.

I think I'll just use procmail.  :-)

Done.  (Added 'score ALL_TRUSTED -10.0' to local.cf.)

ezmlm is the problem here.  I think Ask has posted some pointers on how we 
could patch/circumvent ezmlm-gate.  But, again, I don't have the time to 
research this or implement it.  If someone provided the *exact* .qmail & 
ezmlm syntax that is required, I could paste it in.

I also don't think ezmlm can issue 550s: it can just silently drop the 
message as it comes too late in the process.  But, it's the only place to 
have list-specific spam score filtering.  (It's theoretically possible to 
write a qpsmtpd plugin that could do per-recipient spam score rejections; 
but I don't have the time to write it.)

If it helps, ~apmail/.qmail-spamassassin-commits is:

'/home/apmail/lists/spamassassin.apache.org/commits'
