Exceptions to all_spam_to?
Hi All,
Forgive me if this is a common question or one which has been answered
elsewhere, but I cannot find the answer anywhere.
I want to enable spamassassin on our production mail server, however I
only want to filter for spam on selected email accounts.
I was thinking of doing an all_spam_to *, and then creating exceptions
to this rule. However, I can't seem to find an unall_spam_to or
unwhitelist_to command in the docs to achieve this.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tom

Sorry, don't know anything about cyrdeliver but I do know sendmail.
Use a sendmail milter to connect to spamd which allows you to
pick and choose who gets filtered. Look at milter-spamc:
http://www.milter.info/sendmail/milter-spamc/
That milter hooks into your sendmail access-db and lets you write
rules that filter or bypass specific classes of senders or
recipients.

Thanks for your suggestion Bob,
Unfortunately, since we're using sendmail (ergh!) and cyrus (cyrdeliver
for the MTA), we can't fit procmail in there anywhere.
I'm currently researching cyrdeliver to see if there's any way to call
spamassassin (or spamc) from that.
If anyone knows how to call a filter from cyrdeliver, please speak
up. :)
Regards,
Tom

Why not call spamassassin (or better, spamc) from the .procmailrc of
the users who should have it? That's what we do at our ISP with over
1000 email accounts. Some punt all spam. Some punt spam that scores
9 or more. Some just mark spam without punting any of it. Not hard
to manage at all.
Cheers,
