Spamassassin did not put the message in the spam folder. SA does not know if the item is going to be put in a folder (spam or otherwise) or tossed into the bit bucket. SA doesn't even, necessarily, actually know who the item is to - or which of possible multiple recipients might want to be notified - thus there is no way it could undertake such notification.
In some situations there may be a dozen different instances of SA running in high-volume load-balancing service configurations, and each one of them might process one or more items for each potential recipient every day - would your end-user want to see a dozen different notices about how many spam items were sent to them, based on how they flowed through the various paths? The application that actually made the choice to store the item in the folder has responsibility for notifying about what it has done. All Spamassassin does is analyze items and assign a score. It does not block email. It does not deposit email in folders. Other software does things with the messages and has opportunity to generate notifications about the actions taken. >>> TWR <tra...@lhtc.net> 02/03/09 9:02 AM >>> I am running qmail with spamassassin so that any message flagged as 'spam' is deposited into a users 'spam' folder. The user has to manually login to their webmail.domain.com spam folder in order to view these messages. Is there a way for spamassassin to notify the end user once a day that (x)number of spam messages has been quarantined. Perhaps the message could include the subject line and contain a hyperlink to their webmail based spam folder.
