Here's a quick, simple solution that I'm using at the moment. Have users forward the offending mail to an e-mail account that has the following procmail recipes: # # send a spamassassin report # :0 b * ^Subject: spam$ * ? test -x /usr/bin/spamassassin | sed -n -e 's/mailto://;/^From:/,$p' | /usr/bin/spamassassin -r # # Add the email address in the From: line auto-whitelist # :0 b * ^Subject: white[ ]*list$ * ? test -x /usr/bin/spamassassin | sed -n -e 's/mailto://;/^From:/p' | /usr/bin/spamassassin -W The first recipe looks for the single word "spam" (without quotes) in the subject line, and if found will feed the body through a sed script that extracts everything from the initial "From:" line found in the message body to the end of the message body. This is then fed into spamassassin -r, which will format and send out a Razor report. (I was thinking of adding -R (remove from white list) after the -r switch, but wasn't sure if these can be used in combination?) The second recipe looks for "white list" in the subject line and then extracts the From: line found in the message body, and sends this to spamassassin -W, which white lists the e-mail address found there. (the sed action that edits out "mailto:"; works around a small problem with the current version of SA, where it doesn't filter out the the mailto: prefix when extracting e-mail addresses) In my procmail recipes, I further check that the from address is my own, just to avoid the possibility that someone sends me a valid message with "spam" or "white list" in the subject line. If you create a separate user account whose only purpose was to report all incoming mail to Razor or some other black list, then there would be no need to check the Subject line at all. Below is an example message forwarded from Outlook. Note that if the user forwards an HTML-fomatted e-mail, the approach described above won't work well. To forward HTML-formatted e-mail, the user should instead create a new empty message, then "Insert:Item ...", select the offending message, and make sure "Attachment" is checked. This will include the message as an attachment, and the recipe above will work without modification. Alternatively, the script could be beefed up to accept forwarded messages in HTML format. -----Original Message----- From: ContenWatch [mailto:reply-66253866-2556@;mailtonic.net] Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2002 2:43 AM To: Friend Subject: Update: Internet Questions Answered Has offensive adult material ever appeared on your computer screen while you were using the Internet?
