Keep a database with every address that e-mail is sent to. Have a rule

I find it quite unlikely that any address that someone would send a
message to would ever be sending my server spam. Any thoughts?
How about this for a thought... How would you go about teaching SA which
addresses mail is being sent to by whom?

That's actually quite a huge project of its own, not just a few lines of code
to SA the way it is today.

1) Have your mail client put a copy of all outgoing messages into a particular folder (like "Sent"). (most clients do this already, so its no big deal)

2) Write a program which parses that file out and adds those addresses to a file, removes duplicates, and then takes that file and uses it to build a new spam assassin user prefs file (perhaps combining it with other files).


That'd actually be a rather small modification to my existing black/white list manager script. I may do that. (it has a provision for building a whitelist file, but its intended to be destructive: it cleans out the mail folder in question ... it'd be a small modification to just have it read the file without destroying it)

Though, that's not a site wide solution. Just for per-user stuff.
