I've implemented spamd/spamc in a system with about 950+ users.  As many of
you
are probably aware or have experienced, a select group of people can't handle
changes.  They don't like to see the words "Likely Spam" in their subjects,
they can't handle technical thoughts, and they think my proactive approach
to helping them read their mail effectively has some how increased the level
of UCE they receive.  (Don't ask me why)

I've been dealing with these folks by adding them to local.cf like so:

all_spam_to <address>

I am using spamd/spamc (in Qmail) with the seekable patch installed in
vpopmail.  All mail for the domain is piped into spamc via a .qmail-default
file that runs
maildrop (basically the default maildrop script modified to ignore
non-existant
accounts).

It appears to me that when you define all_spam_to either spamd or spamc is
looking for the address in the To: or cc: field of the message, and if it
finds
it, disables notification entirely.

Here is where this method is flawed:  People receive both legitimate and bad
email that doesn't have their address in either field.   I *must* find a way
to solve this problem, because users on mailing lists who are also in local.cf
as "all_spam_to" are complaining that we "didn't really shut it off" for them.

My solution is to have spamd or spamc look for the Delivered-To: header which
qmail thankfuly inserts.  Unfortunately I can't figure out how this works.
I've looked at spamd, spamc.c, and spamassassin and I can't figure out where
this whole process takes place.

Is there already a solution for this?    Can someone tell me how to make SA
look at the Delivered-To: field when it comes to whitelisting recipients
entirely?

p.s. -- Are there any GUI interfaces that work with vpopmail that I am just
missing?  This whole problem could be solved if I could give everyone the
ability to turn SA on and off in individual .qmail-<user> files instead of
scanning the entire domain by default.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
