Hello folks!
I would like to ask if it is possible for spamassassin to include the spam email as an
attachment when sending postmaster notifications.
This way I can make a manual sa-learn.
My setup right now is done using postfix as a mail relay to an exchange server.
Hope someone can help

Sending postmaster notifies isn't a function of SA at all.. SA itself
Nice script... is it possible to learn SA automagicly use such logic ?

Thanks Matt!
I am using amavisd-new with spamassassin and clamav.
As mail is relayed to an exchange server, headers are somewhat changed and the needed
spam headers are not as accurate anymore.
If the spam email can be attached to the notification then I can perform the manual
sa-learn.
Thanks

It looks as if you're trying to deposit the spam into a folder that lives

This box is running RH 7.0 with procmail 3.22-7. What is the proper format
of the .procmailrc file? I don't think I have ever seen something so picky.
I have my file set up exactly like this:
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
I'm not offended.
I agree if I used procmail I should be shot if I could not figure this out.
RTFM and all that.
However I use qmail-scanner which primarily is a virus-scanner which
supports SA. I can't see how to get qmail-scanner to drop mail if it is
spam.
Perhaps its time for a patch. Or
For any other poor sods out there using qmail-scanner
see

This looks like it will do the trick.
