Point well taken. Spamassassin is scanning the email, qmail-scanner does the labeling as "spam" and mailfilter is then shooting it email to the spam folder. I was hoping there was a way that spamassassin could log that user a received x number of spam and then notify the recipient that the email had been blocked as such. From my understanding there is no option available short of writing a program. Would this be correct?
