This exactly what I'm doing with the patch posted by Chis Heine, you can
configure a threshold in qmail-scanner (for ex. 10; 12 is too much) to
quarantine a message, and spamassassin will tag a message over 7.

Look the message posted by chris.

Where is Chris's patch?

I have attached Chris's original message (with patch) to this message.

I'm submitting this patch just in case someone else finds it useful.
Basically what it does is extend the spam checking, so that if a message
exceeds a certain configurable spam threshold, the message is quarantined as
though it had a virus.

There is a new configure option (sa-quarantine) which is set to whatever
value
above which you want messages to be quarantined. This is turned off by
default.
There are a couple of checks done. First, obviously this is only relevant if
spamassassin is detected, also the value needs to be greater than the spam
threshold from spamassassin. The idea is to use a value above which there
are
as few false positives as possible.

The reason for writing this is that in the system we have here all messages
marked as spam are put in a queue to be checked. Any false postives are
manually
sent on to the user, so anything that reduces the number of mails to be
checked
is very useful. In the couple of months I have been keeping track, we have
had
no false positives with a score over 10.

We've been using it here for a while, and everything seems to be working OK.
Let me know if I've broken anything, or if anyone thinks this is a bad idea.
