Hey! I manage the email accounts for my family and a couple of friends. They are located on a (virtual) server, adminstrated by myself.
Since we move our server (and upgrade from oldstabe to stable) I want to reconsider how I organize mails serverside. Debian, MTA is postfix, MDA maildrop (like procmail), IMAP was courier, will be dovecot. Planned setup is like that: All mail is spamfiltered by spamassassin. Mail with a very high score (e.g. >10) is immediately deleted. Mail classified as spam is delivered to UserMaildir/.Spam (= IMAP Spam folder). My biggest open question is how to integrate the SA bayes filter, esp. when and on what folders to do training. a) All users use the bayes filter, but I train the mails only on my spam/ham. Probably not a good idea I think b) Learn Spam daily from each users Spam directory, this may involve reinforcing false positives. Open question remains, how to learn ham? I could learn from every users inbox. False negatives will be moved to Spam later the bayes filter will forget them being ham when learned as spam. c) Learn Ham like b) and Spam just from me. Though I'm quite computer literate most of my users are not. I do the IMAP account setup, it's fine for them to move a message from/to Spam but not a lot more. What do you think? Thx! Florian
