Plugging dspam into SA

[Frank DeChellis <fr...@iaw.on.ca>]

Hi,

We used NetBSD 4, SA 3.2.5 and just installed dspam 3.8.0 .

Our SMTP server is exim.

We run SA on a different server.  Exim receives the mail and sends it out
for checking.  I configured this all myself but I don¹t consider myself 100%
confident and well versed, so I write looking to see if there is an easy
answer to my question.

We call SA into action from exim by specifying spamd_address to the SA
server and port number.

Is there a simple way to integrate dspam into SA like we integrate Bayes
and/or Razor?  Am I looking for too simple a solution?

My hope is that dspam can be used a simple plugin to spamassassin.

Right now, this is the easiest thing I have found:

If anybody has any advice or ideas, please let me know.

THANKS.

Frank

That's the only plugin I'm aware of. I don't really see the point of a
plugin though, I just pass the mail though DSPAM and then use

header   DS_HAM         X-DSPAM-Result =~ /^(Innocent|Whitelisted)/
header   DS_SPAM        X-DSPAM-Result =~ /^Spam/

This is probably way beyond what you wanted to get into but the Bayes  
subsystem has plugin hooks so you could write your own dspam plugin to  
use.

I'm not aware of anyone trying it so the plugin interface might need  
some tweaking but I'd certainly be interested in the results.
