Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can add some better management around spam that we have blocked, that we need to forward onto the users?
Hi Dan,
we had similar problems and I solved this the following (for spam only):
I am trapping all the spam in user specific "boxes". I do this with the
following entry in /etc/procmailrc:
:0: * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes /var/mail/${LOGNAME}_spam
LOGNAME is the mail user account.
Further I created accounts for all these "spamboxes". As a result every user
has two mailboxes: his "normal" mailbox, e. g. peter and a second, the
"spambox", e. g. peter_spam. Now a user may (if he misses a mail) or may not look at his spambox to
control whether Spamassassin is working correctly.
So how does the end user look at his 'other' mailbox? Have you offered a webmail based interface that uses this alternate inbox, or is it imap?
tm.
With this solution the administrator doesn't need to look after caught spam, it's the user's part. Mails in the spamboxes that are older than 3 weeks are deleted automatically by a cron procedure.
Maybe it helps. Margit
