Hi, Maca, Thanks for your answer.
This was what I expected. It's not a problem, though. I'm using MIMEdefang and sendmail for this, and MIMEdefang has a very powerfull script. I can just edit that, and have it ship spam messages to another mailbox or simply nuke it. Though, I wanted to be entirely sure. I won't do it untill I get some more answers on my mail, though. And yes - SA should be able to delete the message. It would make the whole thing a lot easier. And there should also be some documentation on this, cuz I think many users expect SA to do just that - delete the spammy messages. Thanks. - Haakon ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2003 1:56 PM Subject: Re: [SAtalk] SA and tagging/removing > When I first saw the SA, I marveled, why SA cannot delete the mail. SA can't delete the message. The possibility of the message deletion depends on the MTA you are using. If you use procmail for local delivery, you can teach the procmail to delete the message, if you use other program, you must teach your program to delete. :( > Why SA itself cannot delete???
