address, I get a bounce e-mail from my e-mail server. Here is what
is in my spamass-milter file:
EXTRA_FLAGS="-m -r 8 -R NO_SPAM -i 127.0.0.1 -g sa-milt --
--max-size=5120000"
I would prefer it to go into my Junk folder. How can I make this happen?
Bobby,
You need to read the spamass-milter documentation to understand what those
options are doing.
That "-r 8" tells spamass-milter to return a 'SMIFS_REJECT' status to postfix
if the spam score is over 8. This causes postfix to refuse to accept the
message at all (sort of like when somebody tries to send a message to a bogus
recipient).
So if postfix never lets spam get in the front door it cannot be delivered to
any kind of "Junk Folder"
You probably want either the -b or -B option, which allows you to
specify an address that tagged mail gets sent to. It's particularly
useful in combination with the -r option so that you can get a sense
of what's being rejected outright.
