Not sure, I'm using one Spamassassin 'learn' facility for everyone, not one per domain or one per email account. I don't think sa cares about the recipient, can't imagine why it would. AFAICT sa does not scale down very well, works better on large throughput setups. Squirrelmail has a spam-button plugin which I configured to send (bounce) the selected mail to a dedicated account which is scanned at regular intervals with a cron job (similar to Dennis Erickson's post here) Apparently forwarding mail mangles the headers (from an sa-learn analysis point of view). I've had a similar problem when customers have forwarded problem mail to me, I can't see what happened, the original headers are lost. I could not get the plugin to run sa-learn directly, probably a permissions problem but I have not persued it as doing them in bulk is a lot less CPU intensive than running sa-learn once for each mail. This combined with a .SPAM folder to reroute those already identified by simscan via a maildrop filter seems to be doing the trick. What I haven't figured out is how to use a maildrop filter *and* TMDA ;-) > > Thanks > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Bob Hutchinson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2006 2:04 PM > To: toaster@shupp.org > Subject: Re: [toaster] spamassassin > > On Thursday 16 Feb 2006 19:52, Noel Sanchez wrote: > > Hello All.
