So Im finishing up my MD setup. I want clean mail delivered to my local user
account, Spam I want sent to another alternate local user account. So instead
of quarantine, the spam goes to a dedicated spam account where I can check it
manually every once in a awhile. So my MD filter code looks like this:
$SpamBox = 'essenz_spam@localhost';
if ($hits < $req) {
action_change_header("X-NoSpam-Score", "$hits ($score) $names");
}
if ($hits >= $req) {
action_change_header("X-Spam-Score", "$hits ($score) $names");
resend_message($SpamBox);
action_discard();
}
The resend_message puts the spam in Sendmail’s clientmqueue, but…. 5 mins later
when the queue flushes, the “resent” message gets delivered, which means it
goes through MD again, which in turn gets filtered again by MD, resulting in a
loop because it keeps getting flagged as spam then resent again.
Whats the easiest way to avoid this loop? Is there a way to put the message
directly into the alternate mailbox (maybe add_recipient then
delete_recipient)? The obvious option is I can add a snippet of code to MD to
catch the loop and not perform a spam check on anything going to that alternate
box.
Thanks
John
