The trick we use here for users who don't want their spam is to pipe it, via a maildrop script, into the Trash folder of their account on our IMAP server.
Benefits: 1: They can check it via web mail, or via their client if they're IMAP4 users. 2: It gets autodeleted from the Trash folder after a week. 3: POP3 users don't download it; they get what's in their root folder, not subfolders. 4: Being in the trash folder, it doesn't count against their quotas. It's the best of all worlds, or at least, the closest I can come to it. Email doesn't get deleted arbitrarily, but users who choose to trust the system can do so. Oh, and our webmail client also has the interface for users to deal with their per-user settings in a SQL backend. :-) > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jim > Ford > Sent: Saturday, June 14, 2003 11:06 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [SAtalk] Why keep caughtspam? > > > Hi, > > I've got procmail putting spam identified by SA into a caughtspam mailbox. > Apart from checking it to see if ham has slipped into it, or > mabye to notify > Razor of spam that hasn't been tagged as Razor'ed, is there any reason > why I should keep it for long? > > Regards: Jim Ford > > -- > Spam poison - don't use! ---> [EMAIL PROTECTED] <--- > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.NET email is sponsored by: eBay > Great deals on office technology -- on eBay now!
