I'd strongly suggest using the Bayesian filters, per-user, that is. For |
| 15 |
a mail setup at my company for about 20 people with high mail traffic |
| 16 |
I'm running a nightly cron job to archieve that. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Basically it works like this: |
| 19 |
- All incoming mail is scanned by Spamassassin, Bayes enabled |
| 20 |
- Users have "virtual homedirs" for Spamassassin |
| 21 |
- A nightly cron job learns all mail in users' INBOX.Spam.LearnSpam and |
| 22 |
INBOX.Spam.LearnHam folders (it's a simple shell script) |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
That way all users can put mails they'd like to be learned as being |
| 25 |
spam in the respective IMAP folder and have them automatically learned |
| 26 |
overnight. Simple setup, highly effective, simple for my users. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
In order to give more hints to setup this, it would be helpful to know |
| 29 |
which mail storage is being used (IMAP? What server? What storage?). |
