Re: Auto Training Filtering Gateway

I feel like I need to add, for the sake of others, that its a bad idea
to allow outside access to these two email addresses.  Internal users,
or perhaps even just a few trusted individuals should be able to send
to these two addresses, but not the general internet population.  I'm
guessing the reasons for this should be self-evident.

 Only if you can get your local users to send them in a way that you can
 reconstruct the original headers and body. (ie: regular forwarding won't
 work here, but forward as attachment might).
 
 Check the wiki, there's a bit of information on this kind of stuff for
 various kinds of mailclients up there.
 

Auto Training Filtering Gateway

[Gary Buckmaster]

Hi All,

I have set up a spam/virus filtering gateway using the very popular
combination of ClamAV+Spamassassin+Amavisd-new+Postfix.  As its still
in development, I'd like to do a slow roll-out to the users and have
them help train the database against spam.  To this end, I've
considered setting up spam@ and notspam@  accounts on the gateway
itself, and having local users send appropriate samples to these
accounts, then running sa-learn against these.  Does this approach
make a great deal of sense?  Has anyone set up something like this?

Best Regards,

Gary
