Spam Guru’s:
I have a question that I am hoping one of you may be able to answer.
We run the latest version of SA running spamc/spamd with a global (not per user)
config, and tag messages as spam for latter filtering by the mail client, as is
appropriate. However, now we have some people (me, for one) who will be occasionally
picking up e-mail via a PDA though pop3 or IMAP. Since the filtering on the PDAs is
rudimentary or non-existent, client side spam filtering is not really an option.
What I would like to do is uses a simple alias to copy the users e-mail into two
mailboxes, one that is normal for a real desktop client, and the second which is
accessed by the PDA device, and is pre-cleaned of spam. Ideally I envisioned this being
done by a script which goes though and deletes any messages marked as spam.
Dose anyone have such a script? Or am I going about this all the wrong way? I know this
is not strictly a SA question, but perhaps I can do something with SA to make this work?
Since SA has already done the work, there is no reason to back feed. You
didn't mention your MTA, but I'm going to make a general stab at what
you want to do...
I would setup two mail boxes. One that gets all mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and one that is for your pda only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Then in your
MTA _only_ BCC a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] if the X-Spam-Status
(or whatever header you use) is No or below a certain level. I would get
with my MTA's mailing list to see if this is possible (by either a
script or other such means.) If it is, they would be best to help you,
if not, you may want to seek recommendations for an MTA that can do this.
Double scanning with SA will just waste resources.
