What is the best way to send spam candidates from Outlook and Outlook
Express to spamassassin for learning?
TIA.
Pat...
As a little investigation can show I use OE here. (I'm disinclined to
even touch Outlook.)
On our mail local server I use fetchmail to pull our email from Earthlink.
That process runs the email through procmail which in turn runs it through
SpamAssassin via spamc/spamd. This goes into the inbox in the usual place
in /var/spool/mail in mbox format.
I run DoveCot. It is setup to fetch inbox email from the correct place
while using ~/<user>/Mail as a residence for some IMAP email folders. We
fetch our mail into OE via pop3. I for one rather prefer the folder
arrangements I can setup with OE on the local machine rather than what I
can manage with the IMAP tools. In the IMAP email folders I setup (at
least) four folders, ham, oldham, spam, and oldspam. Ham and spam are
fed mis-categorized messages as well as liberal mushes of ham and low
scoring spam from time to time. I use the other two as archives for ham
and spam samples when the ham and spam folders get "big". (This can be
automated.)
I automate learning for each of us as a cron job off our respective
~/<user>/Mail folders. This process could also move email from the
spam folder to the oldspam folder once it is learned perhaps once a
week or once a month.
