yup, right you are... but you can set spamassassin to only reject mail over a certain threshold, and just tag the rest as spam..
I have mine setup to quarantine spam with a score over 20.. and it has yet to catch any non spam. (I have tagging setup to 4.5 or over) I am only using quarintine at the moment so I can make sure its all good. and so far, (about 80,000 mails have gone through it) its all been good. Since in order to do rejects the proxy has already received the mail in order to scan it, its probably possible to have it saved to a quaranteen dir as well. That way you could retrieve mail if it was mis assigned. Obviously you would play with the tag/reject numbers till you find a good compromise.. and it wouldn't reject all spam.. but it would get the worst ones..and with bayes, it will reject any that you "know" are spam. regards Franki -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Luca Olivetti Sent: Thursday, 24 July 2003 1:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] Using Postfix to send mail.

OTOH, since spam detection mechanisms are not perfect (and black lists based ones are evil), rejecting means you can lose good emails, while with filtering you give yourself (and your users) an option to look at the spam folder from time to time to see if a good message has been flagged as a false positive.
