Title: RE: Spamassassin Reporting Qn

Hi Rainer,

Sorry..

What is happening is spam is getting through spamassassin and the users identify it as spam. I want to train spamassassin and an easy way to do this would be to ask all the users to forward spam to a central mailbox on the spamassassin server which I can then use to train spamassassin.. Am I making sense? Is this possible? No user accounts are on the spamassassin server.

Regards,

Glenn.

IMHO, it does not make sense to scan mail from your internal users. Its just wasting resources.
Here, in a similar setup like yours, I use spamass-milter to feed SA.
The milter can ignore mail from the internal network:
From the startup script:

---8<---
su amavis -c "/usr/local/sbin/spamass-milter -i 10.0.0.0/8 -f -p \ /var/spamass/spamass-milter.sock"
---8<---

So, everything from 10/8 is ignored
