[SAtalk] SQL Integration

2004-01-10 Thread Andrew Cranson
What per-user preferences are supported by the mysql integration? Just the
basics like required_hits and white/blacklisting, or is it possible to
support more? Thanks.

Hi, strange, it's ignoring pretty much anything else I ask it to do via
mysql. Is there anything would override mysql preferences?

The per-user configurability capabilities of the MySQL interface
 go well beyond white/black-list and required hits.  Whilst those
 are sufficient for average users, it's also possible to override
 scores on a per-user basis and either raise/lower per-rule scores
 or even disable specific tests.

The latter is important for people who routinely communicate with
 sites that, for whatever reason, are listed in a DNS-blacklists, and
 if a site is implementing hightly-custom rules.

Cheers.

Hi,

See
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg03016.html
* http://nyx.ilk.com/qsspam/

There is a mention of a delete_mail_threshold. I have been trying to
implement that via mySQL but it doesn't appear to be doing anything. Is
there a component require that includes this function, or should it be
included by default? (SA 2.61)

Thanks

What do your per-user SQL preferences look like?  In order to
 override a stock score one must specify score RULE_NAME for the
preference column and the desired score in the value column. To wit,
one of my pet peeves is invisible HTML text, so I over-rode the default
with a SQL sequence of:

 insert into userpref (username,preference,value)
 values ('crfriend','score HTML_FONT_INVISIBLE','3.0');

If you're missing the score component, it will not work
 properly (been there, done that).

In general, the syntax in the MySQL database is identical to
 that in the various *.cf files.

Cheers.

   Any notion of a delete_mail threshold must reside within your
qmail setup and not within SpamAssassin.  SpamAssassin *only* tags
e-mail as *possible* spam; it *never* deletes it.  Any deletion of
tagged messages (note that I did not say, spam) is up to the
delivery agent that follows SA in the delivery pipe.

   As delivered, SA *cannot* delete e-mail.  Nor, in my humble opinion,
should it.  Sooner or later you *will* get a false-positive, and if
your system is designed to delete tagged-mail then you *will* lose
that message, irretrievably, forever.

   Cheers.
