Hi,

for a while i've been watching my spamassassin perform great on almost all spam - i've never had any false positives and also a very low count of false negatives. So I thought about rejecting sure spam during the SMTP session and came up with a few bits of shellscript code thats rejecting spam with a score of 10 and above (I normally mark spam at 5).

But i'm not really sure if i'm doing it correct - it apears to me like i'm not rejecting mail but i'm bouncing it which is surely not what i want.

Here is my code which is called as a qmail-command in my .qmail file.

#!/bin/sh
message="`/usr/bin/spamassassin 2>/dev/null`"
if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then
 # sa returned an error, make sure we dont lose the mail
 exit 111
else
 printf "%s\n" "$message" | grep -qs "X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*"
 if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
    echo "Message was permanently rejected as spam" >&2
    exit 100
 else
    printf "%s\n" "$message" | maildir ./Maildir/
    exit $?
 fi
fi

If you want to test the setup, you can send a mail with for example GTUBE to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Your advice will be welcome,
arni
