Hello list! We have the following setup running successfully:
Postfix as MTA with all virtual user data stored in a MySQL database and cyrus as imap server. For site wide spam checking only (we have a virus wall on a different server) I configured postfix to loop all messages through amavisd-new which in turn calls spamassassin for spam checking (Nothing special, I followed the steps for postfix-MTA in the amavisd-new docs). The setup runs fine and detected already its first 'real-life' spam :-). I let all mails through for users to decide themselves what to do with spam (for example setting a sieve-rule which looks for the X-Spam-Flag value, easily done with the appropriate squirrelmail plugin). So far, I think the setup is quite useful, however I have some questions: -) How can the 'intelligent' Bayesian Filter be used in this setup? As far as I know it needs to be 'trained'. How will this be done, again with the setup from above? This part seems still a bit misty to me. If someone could lighten me up... -) The other problem is about the user_prefs stored in MySQL. This seems not to be trivial with this setup, since amavisd does not call spamd/spamc. I read through an earlier thread on this list about the same issue and some brave administrator seemed to be getting very far (or at least he didn't notify the list about his success). I do not necessarily need amavisd for calling spamassassin, though. The passoff and return to spamassassin could be done directly from postfix. Any ideas on how to accomplish this? Besides I read somewhere else that spamd should crash fairly often. True? Enabling custom spam checking for all users would be the target goal for the whole thing. Actually the same question as above: How will the bayes-filter work with an SQL stored user_prefs setup? There is a squirrelmail plugin where users can select bayes-filtering and auto learning. It is somewhat unclear to me how these parts are interacting.
