Is there any way of configuring Spam Assassin so that it can produce "bounce" like messages so that if a false positive gets through, at least the sender knows that I did not receive the message?
Thanks, Ian
Spamassassin itself can't possibly do anything like this, just by the nature of being a mail filter it cannot.
Some of the tools that call SA can, with varying degrees of "correctness".
I'd really advise not doing this unless you can do it by rejecting the message at the MTA level while the SMTP delivery transaction is still going. Anything else is likely just to amplify the flood of bounce messages that someone gets when they are joe-jobbed, can possibly mis-bounce messages to lists and in general likely does more harm than good.
Of course, using SA as an absolute delete mechanism is something the developers officially say you should not be doing either, but you're ultimately the one that needs to be responsible for the consequences of what it does to your mail.
