I have SpamAssassin 3.1.7 (using spamc/spamd) installed on a Red
Hat 7.1
system, with Perl 5.6.1. We currently have SQL user prefs enabled
in a MySQL
db, and put the entries in /etc/procmailrc to enable system-wide
scanning.
My question is: Are there any settings for SpamAssassin that users
would set
in their prefs, that would bypass scanning of their email? My
reason for
asking is that if we have users that do not want any scanning, we'd
like to
free up the load on the server so it's no scanning messages and
scoring them
for no reason. Right now we're using the "sasql" plugin for
Squirrelmail as
the front-end for the user settings, and one of the settings is to
set the
level to "'99' => _("Don't Filter")". But I'm just trying to
figure out if
this will force SpamAssassin (spamd) to just pass the message
through without
examining the content, to lighten up the load on the server.
Does anybody know which setting (if any) will accomplish this?
Thank you very
much for the feedback.
We've used Amavisd-new to make this happen - basically, what happens
is this:
1. Mail comes into Postfix.
2. Postfix hands it off to Amavisd-new
3. Amavisd-new checks for viruses using clamav and discards if it
finds one (can be overridden by the end user if they want).
4. Amavisd-new checks the DB to see if this user has turned on spam
filtering - if they haven't it just passes it through.
Works great here - we only enable spam filtering if it's been asked
for - otherwise it can be a little too big of a hassle for support
sometimes.
