I've been hacking on a pair of Python scripts for this purpose. The
idea is as follows:
* MTA invokes spamcheck (script #1) for every incoming message.
spamcheck pipes the message through spamc and inspects the
headers added by spamd.
- if spam, save the message to /var/mail/spam (a Maildir)
and append a few lines to /var/mail/spam/.spamreport
- otherwise, reinvoke /usr/sbin/sendmail to send the message
along to all original recipients
* cron periodically invokes spamreport (script #2), which
sends a human-readable version of /var/mail/.spamreport to
postmaster, removes .spamreport so that future spam reports
start afresh, and (optionally) deletes old spam (the
definition of "old" is up to you).
Right now, the code exists and has been very lightly tested. It has not
yet been put into production. It probably has some Exim-specific bits,
but could probably be made MTA-agnostic. It is very definitely
Maildir-centric.
Also, they're geared towards a system where postmaster is responsible
for reading spam reports and rescuing false positives. It should be
possible to generalize this, but that's not (yet) a priority for me.
I'll probably put these scripts on my web page at some point.
