I thought I would pass it along here as it seemed like a potentially good idea. Eventually this turns into a request for a code change. I could do this, but I hate the idea of managing diffs on released code.
Here's what this person is experiencing and would like to do to make things easier for himself. To put it into perspective we are talking about a daily volume of ~250 emails per day with no mailing lists involved. That's a lot of mail, but he's a popular guy.
What he is doing today is essentially running spamassassin with whitelist support. He takes all the spam and puts it into a seperate folder and sorts through that a few times a day and adds anyone he might have missed whitelisting the first time.
But he would like to be able to sort the spam based on spam score in ascending order because most of his false-negatives are in the 5-7 point range and by the time he would get to 10+ he's pretty much done.
Rather than getting his Exchange supplier to change their code base I figured it would be easier to talk to everyone here.
Is it possible to modify the process of putting the "***SPAM***" string into the subject line from a static statement to a more dynamic statement where you would add characters based on the spam score?
An example might be:
"**SPAM", "*" x ($score)
where $score is based on the the spam score but modifie perhaps like this:
$score = (spam - 5) / 2
This would allow for a slower growth rate ($rate) on the number of "*" and keep it short by removing the first five (assuming you have the default limit of 5, really '5' should be replaced by the $limit)
$score = ($spam-$limit)/$rate;
I realize that this might be literally three lines of code in the codebase of spamassassin and pretty simple to manage. But I wasn't sure about doing this on my own and then managing diffs forever after.
Besides all the code change stuff, is there anything technical that seems whacked?
