Re: [qmailtoaster] Drop SPAM to forwarded account
Most every SPAM filter I know will have SOME false-positives. It is inevitable, since SPAMmers are constantly trying to make their sh*t look like the REAL sh*t you WANT to receive. So, you might want to consider changing the spamassassin processing to move those messages marked as SPAM into a folder (eg: SPAM) rather than deleting them. However, if you're still getting tons of spam (just most of it marked SPAM by spamassassin, you might also want to look into SpamDyke... http://www.spamdyke.org)... I've had VERY GOOD luck with this add-on! Finally, if you're committed to deleting the messages marked as SPAM by spamassassin, then look into a pearl script called mailparser, found at: http://cisu.net/files/mailparser.pl This simple little script, when added to your smtp processing path AFTER spamassassin, will route messages marked as SPAM to /dev/null (thus, deleting them). But again, with the high probability of SOME level of false positives, I DO NOT recommend this approach. (To my kids, I relate this kind of warning to: OK mister, here's your gun -- but be careful with it! OK mister, here's your ammo -- but be VERY careful with it! Now sir, you've got a loaded gun there... PLEASE be CAREFUL! Excuse me SIR, but your gun is pointed right at your foot... PLEASE be careful! ... I'm very sorry you shot your foot off, sir. It'll be to help you fix it now! Will that be cash, or credit?) In other words... YOU'VE BEEN WARNED! I hope this helps... someone!

Re: [qmailtoaster] Drop SPAM to forwarded account
By the way, this is the modification I made to /etc/mail/mailfilter to get it to
dump local spam and TRY to abort the procedure, directly after reading in
$VHOME/Maildir/.mailfilter. If the user's .mailfilter contains the line
SPAMFORWARDDROP=1, the following executes:
if((/^X-Spam-Status: Yes/:h) ($SPAMFORWARDDROP == 1))
{
log Message deleted as specified by .mailfilter\n
exception {
to /home/vpopmail/domains/[the
domain]/postmaster/Maildir/.Spam/
}
log === END ===\n
EXITCODE=1
exit
}
This works perfectly without having to modify the smtp delivery pipe, but the
next line in .qmail which contains the forward still executes. Any ideas?

Re: [qmailtoaster] Drop SPAM to forwarded account
I realize dumping these messages probably isn't the best alternative, but there are users that insist (especially for info@ accounts which get bombarded, etc) I've already successfully gotten qt to reroute / dump / not deliver LOCAL spam messages via a modified spamfilter, but my problem is with messages which are to be forwarded to an external domain. The goal is to not forward messages flagged as spam. In the .qmail file, the forwarding recipient is indicated by [email] - is the line editable? Can I make force the script to abort before executing the forward? Most every SPAM filter I know will have SOME false-positives.
