Thank you, sir. I'll check [getmail] out. RPM Forge has a suitable
package for SL6.1.
Look at your distro's repo first: its a Fedora supported package, so I'd
expect other distros to include it too.
I am canny enough for that. I ran "yum list getmail" and since rpmforge
is enabled that one popped up. It MAY be the latest. SL6.1 is basically
RHEL 6.1.
OK. I'm running getmail 4.20.0, which is latest for Fedora 13 - I know,
my mail server need a distro upodate. Maybe next week if the weather is
bad.
Yeah, I notice you cheat about as badly as I do.

...and anyway, if you're sitting behind fetchmail or getmail you MUST
accept all mail that gets that far, so about all you can go with spam is
bin or quarantine it. As it happens, I recently wrote PHP tool that
lists all quarantined mail and lets me inspect it. I also have a cron
job that bins quarantined mail thats over 'n' days old and spamkiller's
rejections get logged and included in the daily logwatch report.
rewrite_header Subject *****SPAM***** _SCORE(00)_ **
Then I sort into spam on the *****SPAM*****. If I sort by subject it sorts
by score. That at least makes it somewhat easier to sort the wheat from
the chaff. Usually there is very little wheat mixed into the chaff. And
most of it scores over 10 and only VERY seldom does any of the wheat that
got stuck in there gets over 10. It makes the visual scan easy.
It works and I can see how.
I'd still go through procmail to the mail spool. We pick it up using DoveCot
for POP3(S) and IMAP(S). POP3 is delivery. IMAP is "feed it back to be learned
as spam."
Each to their own. I pass everything through Postfix as my MTA because
it has an 'always_bcc' directive that copies all incoming and outgoing
messages to my mail archive. I also wrote an SA plugin that whitelists
all messages sent by somebody that the mail archive knows I've sent mail
to.
You mean like
===8<---
:0c:
$HOME/mail/rawmbox
===8<--- {^_-}
What that trick needs is a way to pull a log rotate sort of function on the
rawmbox. I do leave all the processed mail on our mail server and manually
rotate it every month when I do the saved email backup on my main machine.
So in theory I can rebuild with no more than a month of deletions to redo.
It's done well enough considering I've been handling mail on the Windows
machines because that's where I make money. (Yes, I am quite mercenary.)
(Been at this since the early 2.x days for SpamAssassin. I forget if it was
earlier than 2.20 or not. It works so well it gets rather traumatic when it
misfires dramatically. Then when somebody gets twitish about zero tolerance
for an mail provider as large as Earthlink I flay people alive for recreation.)
