Because of the possibility of False-Positives, I don't want to risk
rejecting stuff that users might want. (faculty get real twitchy about
"loosing important messsages". ;)
I add custom rules to SA to push true garbage over the 18 ceiling.
All our mail gets delivered to an IMAP/POP server, users read mail via an
IMAP or POP client. The delvery agent (UW-tmail) is configured to auto
route tagged spam into a particular folder ("Spam") if it exsits, but
to their INBOX if it doesn't. I have a cron job that deletes anything
in a user's Spam folder that is more than a week old.
Thus people have the ability to get spam out of their INBOX, (they
just create a 'Spam' folder). If they're missing a message they can
look in the Spam folder to see if it was FP'd.
Old spam gets cleaned up so it doesn't waste space on the server.
Paranoid users can be sure that they don't miss anything by just not
creating the Spam folder, so they have everything in their INBOX but
it's tagged for their convience. They can delete it when they
get tired of looking at it. ;)
This gives people the ability to control spam in their inbox so they
feel empowered. So far this arrangement has made people happy but it
took a bit of doing to get it all working smoothly.
