I am new to SpamAssassin. I did not want to accidentally lose mail,
but even with the Subject being re-written getting SPAM mail
throughout the day was distracting. My solution was to filter all
mailed labeled as SPAM to a special folder using procmail and then
run a cron job to deliver all the spam mail.
I currently run the cron job every day, but once I convince myself
that SpamAssassin is doing its job correctly I expect to run it once
a week or once a month. I doubt I will ever feel comfortable
dimissing the spam without even looking (but then I did set the
threshold to be 2).
My procmail recipe and the processSpam script is below. Was there an
existing program or an easier way to do it? I could not find it and
this solution was simple enough.
Hope it helps/inspires others.
Cheers,
Yusuf
