I am running spamassassin 2.64 on freeBSD 5.2.1. It is working fine for tagging spam, but now that we are satisfied with it's performance, we want to start deleting obvious spam instead of just tagging it. I have followed (I believe...) the instructions for deleting spam with a certain score by doing the following:
here is my user_prefs: # SpamAssassin user preferences file. See 'perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf' # for details of what can be tweaked. ########################################################################### # How many hits before a mail is considered spam. # required_hits 5 # Whitelist and blacklist addresses are now file-glob-style patterns, so # "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", or "*.domain.net" will all work. # whitelist_from [EMAIL PROTECTED] # Add your own customised scores for some tests below. The default scores are # read from the installed spamassassin rules files, but you can override them # here. To see the list of tests and their default scores, go to # http://spamassassin.org/tests.html . # # score SYMBOLIC_TEST_NAME n.nn # Speakers of Asian languages, like Chinese, Japanese and Korean, will almost # definitely want to uncomment the following lines. They will switch off some # rules that detect 8-bit characters, which commonly trigger on mails using CJK # character sets, or that assume a western-style charset is in use. # # score HTML_COMMENT_8BITS 0 # score UPPERCASE_25_50 0 # score UPPERCASE_50_75 0 # score UPPERCASE_75_100 0 add_header all Level _STARS(*)_ and my procmailrc: # SpamAssassin sample procmailrc # # Pipe the mail through spamassassin (replace 'spamassassin' with 'spamc' # if you use the spamc/spamd combination) # # The condition line ensures that only messages smaller than 250 kB # (250 * 1024 = 256000 bytes) are processed by SpamAssassin. Most spam # isn't bigger than a few k and working with big messages can bring # SpamAssassin to its knees. # # The lock file ensures that only 1 spamassassin invocation happens # at 1 time, to keep the load down. # :0fw: spamc.lock * < 256000 | spamc # Mails with a score of 15 or higher are almost certainly spam (with 0.05% # false positives according to rules/STATISTICS.txt). Let's put them in a # different mbox. (This one is optional.) #:0: #* ^X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\* #/dev/null :0 H *^X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\*\* /dev/null #almost-certainly-spam # All mail tagged as spam (eg. with a score higher than the set threshold) # is moved to "probably-spam". :0: * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes /dev/null #probably-spam # Work around procmail bug: any output on stderr will cause the "F" in "From" # to be dropped. This will re-add it. :0 * ^^rom[ ] { LOG="*** Dropped F off From_ header! Fixing up. " :0 fhw | sed -e '1s/^/F/' } Could anyone spot any mistakes or offer any reason why this isn't working? I appreciate any advice, Thanks
