With @spam_lovers_maps, the message is still processed by spamassassin
and a score is assigned, but the message is passed regardless of the
score. With @bypass_spam_checks_maps, the message is usually not
processed by spamassassin, so this saves processing power. However,
when the message is addressed to multiple recipients, and the
recipients disagree whether scanning should occur or not, the message
will be scanned. There is the possibility in this case that the
recipient(s) in the @bypass_spam_checks_maps will not get a copy of
the message. Possibly the best way to set this up so you save as much
processing as possible, but still ensure that spam is passed, is to
include the recipients in both maps.
One other thing to consider however. For any messages that are not
scanned by spamassassin, those messages will not included in the
messages that are learned by Bayes (assuming autolearn is active). So,
you decide.
Another thing to consider. Depending on your default kill_level and
your quarantine setup, spam that is passed to recipients in
@spam_lovers_maps may also have a copy of the message sent to
quarantine. Assuming one is using default static lookups, consider
also creating a @spam_kill_level_maps where the spam lovers are given
a high kill_level (which prevents quarantine), e.g.:
@spam_kill_level_maps = (
{ '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' => 9999,
'.example.com' => 9999 }, # those in @spam_lovers_maps
\$sa_kill_level_deflt, # catchall default - everyone not in @spam_lovers_maps
);
