Hi,

I'm going to try and explain a possible bug I've come across.

In my group file, I have this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:shared,managed:[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED]

My primary email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
My temporary email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The server that dspam goes through is a postfix server that handballs
mail off to another server for final delivery. Groups aside, it would
think that [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] are completely separate
email address with different quarantine boxes, etc.

My retraining method is simply to forward any email to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], and it looks at the "From" address to
determine where the signature is located. I would have to send it with a
>From address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] for it to be able to pickup the correct
signature.

Enter groups. With the above group setup, I can forward to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], and all good, it picks up the correct
signature.

Now the problem: Everytime an email comes into [EMAIL PROTECTED], a new
email gets sent to me saying that this is your first email, etc (as
that's how I've set it up - to send "first email" message that explains
the setup to the user). Why would this be? Email coming to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is fine, and I don't get any extra "first email" messages.

I have a feeling it's because it is not creating the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
address in my <dspam_home_directory>/data. Any ideas on how to solve
this are appreciated.

My other question is, I've had about 15 - 20 spam emails come to my
[EMAIL PROTECTED] address, so I forward them to my retrain address. And
I've had about the same amount of non-spam emails come into this account
as well. DSPAM picks them up and recognises the signature, that's fine,
however I still get spam coming from the same spam domain with very
similar email content. I can only think of two possible reasons for this:
a) DSPAM hasn't had enough spam/non-spam emails for this account to
determine what is or isn't spam yet
b) It's related to the problem above where there is no [EMAIL PROTECTED]
directory.

I would say it's probably (a) as that is what the "group" is supposed to
achieve, lumping all the email addresses specified in that group to be
controlled by one account. My primary email account never receives spam
so I can't test that one.

Thanks for any help.
