Howdy -
My scenario:
SA 3.0.0 and spamass-milter CVS on a Fedora Core box. It's the only host
listed as an MX for the domain, but the customer actually uses a large ISP
for e-mail. We just have the FC2 box relay all mail for the domain to the
ISP. That means that when the customer receives the e-mail it has headers
for the ISP. I'm not sure if that's important for what I want to try:
I am thinking of a system using spamass-milter and SA 3.0.0 whereby
exceptionally spammy (i.e. score over 8 or 10) gets silently copied to a
spam mailbox on the relay server and exceptionally hammy mail (i.e. score of
less than 1) gets silently copied to a ham mailbox. Then sa-learn could be
run against the mailboxes to feed the Bayes database.
Is that a good idea? I kind of think that the downside is that a big
benefit of Bayes is that false negatives can be fed to it so that they are
more likely to be caught next time. In the scenario above I would think
that it's really just reinforcing what is already known.
Past that, I am really dying to figure out a good way to use Bayes on a
relay server. I keep hearing that you need to be able to forward messages
as an attachment but nothing past that. Any comments, suggestions, etc.
gratefully accepted.
