I've just started using MailScanner and SpamAssassin this week. I am using it site-wide -- trying to reduce spam for all of our users (just a handful actually). For now, I am just having the subject lines modified. In the future, I want to be confident enough about the spam detection to actually just delete them when the rating is high enough.
I guess I am confused about the "proper" way to handle currently misidentified spam. I want to correct this while I am in the "subject modified only" stage -- before I start just deleting it, of course. As an example, several of the users subscribe to OfficeDepot's "specials" mailings. These score something around an 18 -- so it is definitely marked as spam (and the rules are fairly accurate, so it isn't anything I'd want to adjust). So -- what is the proper way to handle this? Do I have each user do something and mark/whitelist their own? Should I add a whitelist_from entry to the main config for SpamAssassin to ignore the officedepot mailings? Or is there something that I'm missing... I'm just worried that it will come up more and more as people join such "specials" mailing lists since they look so much like spam sometimes. I just want to know how to handle them. Especially since when I switch to "delete", they wouldn't even SEE the emails to be able to whitelist them, right? Maybe this is what the AWL stuff should handle? If so, can someone more fully explains how this works? I really couldn't find much about it in the docs or FAQ... - John... ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Jabber Inc.
