I admit, this could easily be an oversight on my part, but I think everything is setup
correctly.
I've read the documents, but cannot figure out this problem. Maybe because I don't

I was wondering how to set up a spam address that would accept forwarded
messages from users and feed them into SA for learning as spam. Is there an
easy way to do this? Is SA smart enough to know not to blacklist the sender
of the forwarded message and to only analyze the forwarded portion? FAQ?
I'm running spamassassin-2.55 and calling the sa-learn command from a
perl script. In this script, I pipe the content of the message I want to
learn from to the command:

so far, are commonly used here), seems, it works well, with a bit of

Howto save the user SCORE preferences in the database? Is it possible?
For example I want to save the MICROSOFT_EXECUTABLE score in the database.
In the preference file it's easy done by typing:
score MICROSOFT_EXECUTABLE 9.000
but in the db I have 3 fields only (username,preference and value).
