I have been working on a variety of scenarios of how to handle per user spam
prefs on a mail gateway machine.  Through trial and error found a couple of
interesting things.  In order to user prefs to be read from SQL I need to
invoke the -u "username" flag in spamc.  I have my SQL tables setup and they
are working properly.  I do not have local users.  Here is the situation, I
did realize I can invoke spamc -u [EMAIL PROTECTED], this does work if I have
a user specified in my sql table as [EMAIL PROTECTED]  If I specify just
spamc -u "user" then all emails prefixed as "user"@domain1.com
"user"@domain2.com are both treated the same.  With the same prefs.
Regardless of what the user is setup as locally (I only setup a local user
for further testing this theory)   Is this the expected result of
spamassassin, in other words was it designed to work as such?  Is there such
a way I can create a user in the sql table and define that the user has the
following email addresses, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]
?  And then do the user based pref checking based on that username?  I did
notice the mysql support was beta, if this has not been addressed yet would
anyone know where I can drop off the suggestion?  Thank you for your help
with this. I also did notice in the man page for spamc the -u flag is
semi-obsoleted.  Is this going to be followed through with?  I think there
can still be a lot of power added to spam assassin with that option
especially with mysql user prefs and the way they work currently.  Just my
personal opinion.
