This is the same setup that I use with a Mandrake mail server and it works
pretty well. We use Exchange on a SBS setup with the POP3 connector, but I'm in the process of changing that to use SMTP delivery. Documentation for SA could really be improved; I see the same questions being asked and answered all the time, because there is a lack of clear, understandable documentation. I can tell you that you will run into some problems with Exchange -- one of them is the way Exchange/Outlook handle (strip) the message headers. I set up a couple of public folders for users to move messages into. If any get past SA, they can put them in the public spam folder and if there are any false positives they can put those in the ham folder. Make sure that Outlook users *move*, not forward messages. Or they can open the message and choose Actions | Resend, which will retain header info. From there, the challenge is to get them out of Exchange in a format that retains all the header information so you can use them to train SA. After trying many different methods, I found that I can use Mozilla's Thunderbird mail client (mozilla.org) to grab the messages thru IMAP. If you set it up to download and save a local copy then they're in Linux mbox format in Thunderbird's mail directory. Just move those files to the Linux box and run sa-learn with the --mbox flag. Others talk of using IMAP enabled scripts on the Linux box, but I find this method gives me more positve control and the ability to review the messages before they are sent back to SA. After all, you can't trust users to always do the right thing -- I've found some hams in the public spam folder and vice versa. If you have any other questions I'm sure you'll find the people in this forum very helpful.
