Anthony,
I have a similar setup. The best solution I have found so far is
to setup IMAP on the filter box and drag emails into the IMAP accounts.
I toyed with using forwarded mails to those accounts. The only way I
found for that to work was to forward to the literal account name,
something like [EMAIL PROTECTED] . To make it easier I
setup contacts within exchange so that my users would be able to forward
mail without using the longer name and exchange would take care of the
rest. Where I ran into trouble was with headers in the forwarded
messages. I never found a way to strip the changes made by forwarding
from the emails before running through spamassassin, that's where I gave
up and used IMAP. What I do now is to review the contents of the spam
IMAP account to make sure there's no ham in it, and run it through
SA-LEARN. I have very little HAM marked incorrectly, consequently I
haven't run any HAM through SA-LEARN in quite some time. Let me know how
things go for you.
Good luck,
Sunny

Hi All,
I have been hunting around on the web now for some weeks, trying
to
find an answer to my question. I think I am incapable of being succinct
enough to get an answer through searching though. :)
If there is a howto out there, or some other source that will answer
this question, please point me directly at that.
Now for the question.
I have a mail gateway, that intercepts mail to and from my company, and
virus/spam filters it, before passing it on to the internal (Exchange)
server or the internet.
This system works, in that all mail is being spam and virus filtered. I
can see this from headers in the mails, and subject tags added by spam
assassin.
The system is no tagging much though, on one mailbox in particular, it
tags maybe 10% of the mail. This is a web visible mail box with about
99% spam.
As the server my mail client interacts with is not the one spam
filtering, I would like to set up two accounts on the gateway box, ham
and spam, so I can farward mail to those accounts, and have spamassassin
learn what is ham and spam from them.
How do I go about this?
System Steup:
Internet<-->gateway(linux,postfix, amavisd, clamav, f-prot,
spamassassin)<-->internal server(winodows, exchange)
Thanks again for any help, and sorry for the long post.
