Re: Sitewide Bayes DB, spam mailbox

[Gaby Vanhegan <ga...@vanhegan.net>]

After some more rumbling around today, I've come across this;

http://www.stearns.org/doc/spamassassin-setup.current.html

And in interesting section on Shared whitelist and bayes databases and 
autoreporting addresses, which seems to cover most of what I want to do.

To this end, I've setup a spam mailbox and a nospam mailbox, and I have 
installed the redirector plugin for Thunderbird:

http://mailredirect.mozdev.org/installation.html

Which allows me to bounce messages with unfettered headers, straight to 
a mailbox that drops it directly into spamassassin -r -d -a, which in 
turn goes into a site-wide bayes DB.  Ergo, if I bounce some spam to 
that address, the mail server will then filter it for all accounts on 
the machine :)

And to prevent abuse of this mechanism, it's setup so that only certain 
people can report spam to this mailbox (me, and the other admin).

Nice.
