Have you tried the plugin using the mailtrain backend?
The antispam plugin? No, I haven't... mostly because it looks like no matter which backend I use, I'd have to alter the user-visible interface to my training system (which I don't really want to do), and it still doesn't handle the "altered message" problem.
Basically it will forward the message, as attachment, to spam/notspam addresses that you define. That includes the use of a %u variable expansion, if you choose to use retrain addresses like like [EMAIL PROTECTED] or something. I've been pretty happy with with it and it scales a lot better than piping the message into a retrain command, since the mail system itself will handle the load in a more intelligent way.
Hmmm, load is something I hadn't thought about... (the system I'm working with at the moment has plenty of capacity to spare). That's a good point.
However, one of the goals here is to make it so that if a user identifies a message that has been mistakenly tagged as spam (and "sanitized" by SpamAssassin, e.g. via the "report_safe" setting), they can get the message corrected (and back to its original form) immediately. As it is, they have to put it into the NotSpam folder and wait a couple minutes for the message to reappear in the INBOX (because the cron job only runs every so often).
