Hi,
I have one linux-based account on a shared server with a hosting provider; they presently use cpanel, exim 4.42, SpamAssassin 2.64, and imapd. We are unhappy with the filtering performance (> 10% false negatives, even with required_hits=5.0).
I'd like to add custom rules, but the provider won't enable allow_user_rules, citing security concerns. Also, he won't be upgrading to 3.0.0 until it is released with cpanel.
It appears that installing SpamAssassin 3.0.0 in my home directory would be a good solution. However, we have several add-on domains, each with several mailboxes, and I don't know a good way to deliver the output to the proper box. Mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] presently gets delivered to /home/myaccount/mail/domain.name/user/inbox or to /home/myaccount/mail/domain.name/user/spam . We also have many aliases "forwarders" that point to various boxes. Ideally, there would be a way for each mailbox to have its own user_prefs.
There is lots of detailed info at http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/UsedViaProcmail and at http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/SingleUserUnixInstall , but I could not find any examples with multiple independent email accounts. Surely, hundreds of users have done this before, but sorry, I was unable to find a solution with Google, or searching the archives for this list.
Thanks,
Stewart
