If you use the lastest devel version (we use 5.5.1 in production) you
can use the new spamassasin code. It integrates calling spamassassin
into the vdelivermail program using some flags in the gid field. Use
--enable-spamassassin=y on the configure line. Then you can use
regular .qmail files without the pipe command, hence qmailadmin
won't step on them.
You can disable spamassassin per user or per domain.
For domains update the vlimits file. For users run
vmoduser -f [EMAIL PROTECTED]
-f ( disable spamassassin)
You can also have vdelivermail automatically delete email
that is marked as spam (which is how I use it). By default
that is disabled. To enable per user run:
vmoduser -F [EMAIL PROTECTED]
-F ( delete spam)
You can also put that in the vlimits setup.
We also have a hack to qmailadmin to add support for enable/disable
spamassassin. But it steps on the enable-modify-spam feature, so it
wasn't rolled into the CVS versions.
Hope that helps
