I had a similar problem with a school's mail system. I setup spam |
| 2 |
assasin but found it identified the same nicely but didnt do any thing |
| 3 |
about it. Now there are a few things that you particularly dont want |
| 4 |
such as penixensizer and viagra and such... |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
What I landed up doing is defining a set of my own rules that detected |
| 7 |
if penis, viagra, slut and such words occured it added a +10.0 to the |
| 8 |
spam assassin rating so if is clearly identified as spam. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I then editted /etc/procmailrc file: |
| 11 |
# send mail through SpamAssassin |
| 12 |
:0 fw |
| 13 |
* < 256000 |
| 14 |
| /usr/bin/spamc -f |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
:0: |
| 17 |
* ^X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* |
| 18 |
{ |
| 19 |
EXITCODE=67 |
| 20 |
:0: |
| 21 |
/dev/null |
| 22 |
} |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
So any mail with a spam level greater or equal then 10.0 gets sent |
| 25 |
into the ether and the sender gets a mail back saying email address |
| 26 |
does not exist. This ruthless method has reduced the spam |
| 27 |
considerably. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
What you really should do with spam assassin is move all the mail that |
| 30 |
is flagged as spam to the users spam folder and let them sort it out |
| 31 |
but in a school environment /dev/null is a lot more suitable. |
