Help with sa-learn when using Outlook 2003.
We currently have an Exchange 2003 server that is under heavy burden due to excessive SPAM. The company is not willing to spend $$$ to resolve the issue if it can be done on Linux - especially being that we have several Linux boxes lying idle! Hence, my plan is to implement Sendmail as a front end mail server for Exchange that will do the SPAM fighting (and possible virus scanning as well once I learn how to) then forward e-mail to Exchange. My dilemma is that since all user accounts are on Exchange, how do I bring these missed SPAM e-mail messages back to the Linux box for use with sa-learn?

RE: Help with sa-learn when using Outlook 2003.
I have a similar setup (qmail, clamav, spamassassin and qmail-scanner), this setup works GREAT!!. As for getting them back to the linux box, I use a public folder for all spam and then use Pegasus mail to IMAP the folder and then save the emails to files on a SMB share. Once on the share I run sa-learn and then rsync to my other linux box and repeat. Works like a charm! I block around 1000 msgs a day (I only have a 200 users and lots of spam) Jason P.S.

My dilemma is that since all user accounts are on Exchange, how do I bring these missed SPAM e-mail messages back to the Linux box for use with sa-learn? One option would be to use Maia Mailguard on the Linux box. It can temporarily store a copy of all incoming mail. When a user wants to report a message as spam, they log into the Maia web interface. This way you can be certain that the message will not have been munged by the MUA.

Thanks guys. I like the responses here. However, I got a response to this post (see below) to my Nabble registered email address and I highly suspected that it could be malicious. There were 2 links in the response and funny enough, the Powerpoint related link works, but the home page link reckons I'm forbidden access. What is the policy on such posters here on Nabble? I can't trust such responses especially after you see the dialog I had with the sender - definitely an arrogant individual who believes he has all the answers! Also, how can I block messages from coming back to me directly? I'd like to have responses only appear here, but I'd also like to retain the ability to get emails when replies are added to my posts.

It took us 12 years of twiddling with various products to finally get one that did what it should: Block spam, not block real email, let it administrators administer the box, let users have limited access to their own stuff. If there is any chance that they might consider a commercial solution, email me. I have provided links with information. http://www.spammertrap.com Ppt with pricing: http://www.spammertrap.com/downloads/spammertrap.ppt I'd seriously think, twice, no eight times, before considering buying a mail appliance from someone who took since 1995 to get it right. Did it really take that long or are you just trying to scare people off of SA and on to your client list? Daryl
