With so many people asking how to use spamassassin for Individual users when you're using qmail and vpopmail, i decided to implement it, and here are the results:
# add a user to the domain > ~vpopmail/bin/vadduser [EMAIL PROTECTED] passwd then you have to decide if you want to deliver all mail (with subject and headers possibly modified), or if you want to throw away probable SPAM. edit the user's .qmail-file # if you want to deliver all messages (with subject/headers possibly modified) > echo '| /usr/local/bin/spamc | /home/to/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '\'\'' /home/to/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/spamtest' > ~vpopmail/domains/domain.com/.qmail-spamtest # if you want to forward all messages to an external email address (with subject/headers possibly modified) > echo '| /usr/local/bin/spamc | /var/qmail/bin/forward [EMAIL PROTECTED]' > ~vpopmail/domains/domain.com/.qmail-spamtest if you're delivering/forwarding all messages, you can then set up a Rule in your Mail Client to filter based on Subject, or on the message header containing "X-Spam-Status: Yes" # if you want to throw away probable spam, and only deliver probable good e-mail > echo '| /usr/local/bin/spamc | /usr/local/script/emailchk.pl /home/to/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/spamtest' > ~vpopmail/domains/domain.com/.qmail-spamtest go to http://www.jeremykister.com/jeremy/perl/emailchk.pl and put the contents in /usr/local/script/emailchk.pl then, > chmod a+x /usr/local/script/emailchk.pl Note this requires PERL (was tested with 5.6), vpopmail (was tested with version 5.2.1), Sys::Hostname, and SpamAssassin with spamd/spamc. Tests show (using an UltraSPARC-II 270Mhz 640MB RAM, Solaris 2.7): to throw away or deliver a short message is 7 seconds to throw away or deliver long message is 9 seconds to accept a short message is 2 seconds to accept a long message is 2 seconds I havent investigated the scalability when handling more than 1 message at a time. I'm not looking to support this code or implementation; it's to be used as it is or for reference only, although if you see a problem with my code or logic, please let me know. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeremy Kister www.jeremykister.com PGP: http://www.jeremykister.com/jeremy/public_key.asc ------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: AMD - Your access to the experts on Hammer Technology!
