Heya folks
First of all, sorry if this isn't the correct list, but yet, I think spam is a kind of
network attack and should be treated as a security issue.. I run a working mail server
using Postfix, MySQL, Courier-IMAP, SpamAssassin and ClamAV (amavisd-new) ..
I've checked the configuration file for SpamAssassin, but yet I havn't find any good
solution for spam.. Sure, spam will always be a problem and I guess it's impossible to
filter 100% of all spam..
Currently, I've made a filter in my mail client which move all mails with a header
containing "Spam-Level: ***" to a "spam" directory.. The last 2 months, spam and spam
only has been triggered/filtered.. so I think it's quite useful.. yet, it does send the
mail.. if it's triggered spam, why does it even send it to the mailbox instead of just
blocking it? I assume that's because of a bad configuration made by myself..
Also, a lot of mail which is spam is not triggered as spam, is it possible to improve
spamassassin to filter more mails? Like, the way a antivirus program works, (have ids
for each virus), does spamassassin has any "spam ids" or something similar to make it
filter new mails?
Once again, sorry if this mail has been sent to the wrong list, and sorry for asking
alot of questions which might already been documented.
Regards,
Jesper Wallin
