Re: Endividual user settings for Spam , advice needed

[Loren Wilton]

Sa can itself only classify mail as ham or spam.  You have a third category 
here, "unwanted ham".  You will need something else in the mail chain, 
perhaps procmail or something like that, to help make this distinction.

What you can do is write a rule that will detect this particualr kind of 
mail.  Probably give the rule a score that marks the mail as spam.  Then you 
need a filter after SA that can detect that this rule hit, and reclassify 
the mail as unwanted spam.

You could make this a site-wide rule if nobody wants this particular kind of 
mail.  Or you could do a site-wide rule that was a meta and included the 
address of the recipient that doesn't want this mail.

If your users are local and have home directories, you *could* enable user 
rules, and stick the rule into the user config file for just the user 
complaining.  This won't (I think) work if you don't have user directories 
for the user_prefs files.

The SA devs don't like allowing user rules, although I'm personally in favor 
of them.  So you might want to go with the site-wide rule solution.
