Yup, we reject messages that do not pass Postfix header/body checks, and then drop messages that do not pass the spam checks by Amavis. I'm not sure if we could just tag messages that don't pass the checks in Postfix, but it's certainly an option in Amavis. We just choose to drop the messages at this site and spare our server the extra processing by DSPAM. > > Working under the assumption that you do not entire discard email... > > It seems to me that the best you can do is leverage multiple > approaches (amavis/spamassassin, bogofilter, spambayes...) > into adding a token (X-HEADER) to the email that is passed > into the last dspam instance (the one that does the > quarantine) to add additional statistical weight to the > emails score by providing at least one more token with a very > high contribution (spam_messages/ham_messages is either ~1 or > ~0) towards the end result. That sounds about right to me. That way, you don't have to worry about multiple quarantines, etc. It could work pretty well, as long as your spam ratio doesn't get too high. Then you'd be better to drop the known spam before it reaches the final DSPAM instance. Or use TOE I suppose. > > Eventually I think I will work towards this end. Good luck, hope it works out for you. Jeff
