Remove local spamassassin folder

[Dean Clapper]

How do I setup spamassassin not to automatically create 
/home/user/.spamassassin folder.  If I create a new email account it 
automatically creates the folder.

Is it a flag in the spamassassin service that runs? 

thanks

spam and virus

[Dean Clapper]

Is there a configuration for spamassassin to catch virus attachments?   Or, 
does any one know of one to run on a server with sendmail?

White list based on host Received From

[Dean Clapper]

Is there a way to white list based on the IP using the Received from.  We 
have whitelisted our local domain but have noticed some that spoof our 
domain.  However the Received from tag is usually a different IP.

Is it good practice to whitelist using IP?

If statements in local.cf

[Dean Clapper]

Is there a way to put an "IF" statement in local.cf?

I'm trying to put in a conditional statement in the local.cf to check the 
return 
path and the from line.

Most of the time when I see a spoofed name its one or the other not both.  
So what I'm thinking is:

If  domain.com is in "Return-Path:" and "From:" line
then its good
else
its spam

Any thoughts on this approach?

thanks

Whitelist Spam

[Dean Clapper]

A couple of emails are getting through that are being marked as not spam 
but is clearly spam.  The problem is the spammers put in the from line our 
domain.  However, the return path is something totally different.

Is there a good way to handle these messages that get through?

reset spam bayes

[Dean Clapper]

I was wondering how to reset bayes for spamassassin.  We have had a lot 
of spam start coming through the past few weeks and I want to flush out the 
bayes in my directory then try it for the shared bayes.

I'm on spamassassin-3.1.3-1.

thanks

Bounce spam into spamtrap

[Dean Clapper]

I'm trying to move my downloaded emails on my workstation to a spamtrap 
email on the server.  Then I want to do a sa-learn on 
/var/spool/mail/spamtrap and share the spamtrap bayes for users.

Do the emails that I put in the spamtrap have to be in original form?  Or, can 
I "Bounce" them from my mail client to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

After I've used the shared bayes on a couple accounts, I want more people 
to Bounce their spam that gets through to spamtrap.

thanks
Dean
