Hello, I have
spamassassin installed with MailScanner on a redhat linux 9 box, acting as a
spam/virus relay. The mail is not ever stored on the spam relay box, it
just scans for viruses and spam, and then forward the mail on to the appropriate
mail server (it serves multiple domains).
I have a couple
questions about the bayes filters in spamassassin, and want to check to make
sure I'm doing things right. I've gone over the docs regarding the bayes
filters, and the salearn program, and I currently have set up 2 email addresses
at a particular site for people to send misclassified email
to:
spam:
|/etc/smrsh/spam-learn
ham: |/etc/smrsh/ham-learn
ham: |/etc/smrsh/ham-learn
the two scripts
referenced just do a simple call to sa-learn:
spam-learn: sa-learn
--spam --no-rebuild --single
ham-learn: sa-learn --ham --no-rebuild
--single
And then I have a cron job set to rebuild the bayes db
every night:
/usr/bin/sa-learn --rebuild
I have been
instructing users to send misclassifed emails to the spam or ham address using
the Outlook "resend" method that was given in the
docs.
My questions
are:
1) Is this the
correct way for me to have things set up to teach spamassassin about
new/misclassified spam?
2) Is there a
way to do a similar "resend" method using outlook express, as I have not been
able to find a way to do it from OE yet..?
