[SAtalk] Delete vs tagging spam

2004-01-15 Thread Andrew Cranson
Would it be possible for an additional mysql preferance for a threshold to be added to an upcoming spamassassin release for mail deletion? e.g. A user sets required_hits to 5, and sets deletion_hits to 10, any mail between 5 and 10 is tagged, anything above 10 is deleted.

[SAtalk] Bayes NFS safe?

2004-01-15 Thread Mike Jackson
If you have multiple SA filtering boxes, is it safe to NFS-mount a partition with a system-wide Bayesian database and share it across all the boxes? In our setup, we have three boxes dedicated to doing SA filtering, all running the same version of FreeBSD, and it sure would be nice to be able to do
