Hello,
our mail setup is kinda different than usual configuration: we have a
lot of mailboxes all owned by a single userid. The directories tree is
composed using a prefix, an elaboration of the domain name (domain.ext
-> ext/d/o/m/domain), and then the local part.
Not too different. My server uses a less convoluted version of this
(domain.com/user).
We would like to allow each mailbox (which maps to an email account) to
specify the spam preferences and let the MTA (qmail in this case) scan
the email at SMTP session.
Can we do that with spamassassin 3.3.2 ?
You can have per-user preferences and you can have scanning at the SMTP
session. Doing both at once can be tricky. For example, if you have an
email being sent to user1 and user2, whose preferences do you use?
Generally, if you are doing scanning during SMTP, you use a site-wide
setup. If you want per-user preferences, you scan on delivery. Of
course, if you have the horsepower, you can do both. Use a conservative
site-wide setup to scan and reject obvious spam at SMTP and then use the
per-user setup to scan and flag or quarantine the rest.
you're righy, it's doing it at delivery time (for this platform), but
still qmail has to select the correct directory to fetch the mailbox
config, and that's the problem we have: we don't have real users, and we
need somehow to teach SA to get configs from a "dummy" dir. How can I do
that? is only doable with patches? of course, looking at them would be
awesome :)
