Here's a cute idea for those of us who admit to using Outlook. Inspired by the X-message-flag headers that certain people put in their mail to annoy Outlook users, I added the following procmail recipe after the message has been piped through SpamAssassin and before the delivery recipe:
:0fw * ^X-Spam-Report: \/.*; | formail -I "X-message-flag: $MATCH" -I "X-Spam-Status: Yes" This takes each message marked as spam and adds an X-message-flag header with the first line of the spam report, i.e. "11.8 hits, 7 required;". This displays at the top of the message window when you open it in Outlook. More importantly, you can add the Follow Up Flag field to your message list display, and get an instant spam reading without opening the message. You can also sort by this field to look at the messages in order of spammishness. This might be a neat user-configurable (and off by default) feature for SpamAssassin at some point. It would be a very user-friendly way for Outlook users to spot spam without looking at the headers. Technical notes: This requires that report_header and use_terse_report be turned on. The procmail recipe also replaces the X-Spam-Status header with a shorter one - this is because the long list of tests in this header tends to confuse Outlook and prevent the message flag display. The list of matched tests will be in the spam report anyway. -- michael moncur mgm at starlingtech.com http://www.starlingtech.com/ "Research is the process of going up alleys to see if they are blind." -- Marston Bates _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
