Thanks,
Stearns mail gives ground work, but the "bounce" requirement is not acceptable
as Lenz points out. Nor do sufficient enough people run imap (less than 1%).
Naturally this can be done, it is just complicated. Perhaps if I assume the spam
mails are always forwarded "inline" I can strip the first header, then pipe it
in as --mbox.
Thanks for the feedback,
Lund

I believe that only works with a redirect/bounce though and outlook
express doesn't support it. dunno about your users but with mine that
represents about 95% of the users. What about IMAP? If you have your
users switch to IMAP you can just have a Spam folder for each account.
Can't think of any clients that don't support IMAP.

Good evening, Jorgen,

I would like to setup SA site wide, so that all the users can use it.
However, users are not very technical, so it would be nice if they
could have an easy method to train their own DBs.
I envisioned that a "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" user could forward said mail to
something like "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (forward to themselves,
with instructions) to train SA. Naturally also
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]". The syntax/method is not so important.
I would imagine I could do this in procmail, but I would have to make
sure:
1) Procmail drops the enclosing email, which is from the user
themselves, so that isn't part of the training.
2) The spam/ham email might be inline, or attached, so deal with both.
Already been done? Or just plain bad idea?
Ultimately, it would be nice if there was a global DB that I/sysadmin
to could train, as well as, each user's own DB that they train. That
way I can globally add spam when I am sure that it is spam.
I think this covers what you need:
