Stop delivery of mail with certain points

[pvpsc <ps...@pvpsc.com>]

Dont know if this is a SpamAssassin question or not.  

We're running SA 3.1.3 on a slackware 10 / ker 2.4.26 box with qmail

SA works great.  We've had it running for a while now.  But there are still
the occasional false positives/negatives from time to time.  So we still
have the marked SPAM email get delivered.  I was wondering if there was a
way to not deliver email based on points.  At the moment, our magic point
value is 3.8.  Id like to be able to say, if this message has over 5 points
dont deliver it at all.

Thanks.

Not possible in Spamassassin. I'm not familiar with qmail, maybe 
someone here is, but does qmail have anything like procmailrc or 
such? That's how I do it with my setup of postfix / sendmail / spamassassin.

Hi,

See simscan or qmail-scanner.

http://www.inter7.com for simscan, google for qmail-scanner.

I prefer simscan just because it is written in C.

Rick

With procmail installed you can do it.

highlight=%28delete%29%7C%28spam%29

here is a way to have all spam forward to another mailbox but the  
procmail script can be modified to trigger on a certain level of spam.
