 |
|
Hello,
Im admin for a server at work that runs email server with following software.
Sendmail, Procmail and Qpopper.
All my pop3 accounts are in /var/spool/mail and now my boss wants me to install some kind of spamfilter. Spamassassin was choice nr.1 because i heard just positive stuff about it.
Now to tricky part, i have never installed it before  and have a no clue how to doit.
I want spamassassin to work system-wide for all users. I have installed spamassassin and that's the only thing i did.
How do i proceed now with settin it up spamassassin it works wit PROCMAIL and Sendmail.
I have searched forum but i could't find any help how to setup spamassassin for /var/spool/mail folder with Sendmail and procmail..
Im counting on u.

Toke: Thanx for a reply but that's not what i need.
I want to install Spamassassin system-wide wich means i don't want the per user settings.
All my accounts are in /var/spool/mail
What do i put in spamassassin conf and /etc/procmailrc file so that spamassassin scans all emails in /var/spool/mail and send spam mail into special folder or just mark the subject line with "SPAM" so that account owner can easily setup their client to filter those spammails.

To have spamassassin alter the Subject line add this to local.cf
The default is ******SPAM*******
but can be changed with
There's a lot you can change/configure in that file. Check out http://au.spamassassin.org/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html for a complete list.
I'm not familliar with procmail, but in qmail, I did need to make changes to each mailbox. Since the box has about fifty domains, I wrote a cron script to check for new mailboxes and make the alterations, if needed. Sorry I can't be of more help with that part. |

| if you use sendmail, have a closer look to sendmail's milter interface, its *very* good. I think you can compile spamd/spamc the way that it will use sendmail's milter, if not, have a look at amavis(-ng/new, any of the newer ones), they can talk to milter. (and SA is "just" an perl script, thats easily embeddable by amavis*) |
