Site-Wide Bayes Question

2004-11-09 Thread Jeff Grossman 
I have just set up a Sendmail server with MIMEDefang and SpamAssassin 
3.0.1.  This machine is a front-end box to my IMAP server.  I am using a 
site wide bayes database.  I am curious how other people are handling 
spam and ham with the bayes database.  I have set up two accounts on the 
front-end server for a spam mailbox and a ham mailbox for sa-learn.  If 
my users just forward the message to either one of those mailboxes, will 
sa-learn be able to properly register that e-mail?  Or should the user 
be using redirect?  Or since it has already been sent on to another mail 
server, is it worthless without the raw message?

Thanks for any help you can offer me.

Jeff

I have a similar setup but with Exchange 2000 as the IMAP server.
I've created two public folders:
FN: spam but not tagged
FP: tagged but not spam

Users drag and drop errors to the appropriate folder, preserving the headers

If your IMAP server supports public folders, this may be the best way to go

Otherwise you might consider having a pair of error folders inside each mailbox 
- then have a script with universal access to all mailboxes walk through each 
mailbox, pulling from the error folders only

Thank you for the suggestions.
