It looks like:

http://www.mhonarc.org/archive/html/.../msg00473.html

could be the start of something to help implement the "forward-to-train" plan (that is, users domain.com forward FP and FN from their off-server mail client back to ham_<random>domain.com and spam_<random>domain.com on their server to get them to be seen by the Bigjohn learnspam script).

Can anybody please help me implement Gary Funck's "strip SA's message markup" idea on my server?

Thanks,
Pete

By the way, I'd like to add a "learn_whitelist" script to this system that would scan the ham_<random>domain.com inbox for all addresses in the TO:, FROM:, CC:, and maybe other headers, and maybe even look in the body, and automagically add those to the SA whitelist_from list.

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks again,
Pete

Just a little more detail to the "forward-to-learn" plan:

Both the FP and FN would have to be stripped of the:

a) back-forwarding headers (headers added during the forwarding by the user back to the SA server),

b) any SA X-Spam headers added by SA the first time, and

c) maybe a POP header or two (that got the msg from the server to the off-server client),

while the the FP would have to be stripped of those, plus

d) the big SA results detail section.

I copy all "clean" mail to ham, to help it continue to learn what good mail looks like, and my email filter automatically MOVES all SPAM scoring over a certain level to SPAM.

You can see more on filters in a thread about "whitelisting " that Cowboy and myself participated in...

No need, I fixed it on my own. I replaced the script file with a new one, and it started scanning the spam folder. However, it won't touch the ham folders at all.

Learning SPAM
Processing /home/********/mail/heatherscorner.com/webmaster/SPAM
Learned tokens from 0 message(s) (16 message(s) examined)
Processing /home/********/mail/heatherscorner.com/heather/SPAM

Learning HAM

Done

There are messages in each of the HAM folders as well.

I would really like to setup SpamAssassin, because every so often I get emails telling me my mailboxes are over the limit and indeed, they are full of spam. The one thing I'm hesitant about is the part about disabling autochecking from mail apps.

So I have a couple of questions: First, does every user have to disable autochecking, or would it be enough to do the sorting of HAM and SPAM on one of my addies that gets lots of spam? Also, I use Mail for Mac OSX, I imagine I should edit the email settings so that emails are not automatically deleted after a week? Would I have to disable Mail's junk filters?

Lastly, would it be possible to leave autoupdating on if I have the email accounts set up as IMAP as opposed to POP, and therefore could still move mail to HAM and SPAM folders on the server?

Sorry if any of these questions are really obvious or silly.

Two questions about this:

1) On page one of this thread, there are instructions on Setting The Cron Job.

After clicking "Standard," there is a field labeled "Command to run:"

Is that where I have to put the name and or path of the script "learnspam".

Did I miss this somewhere in the instructions?

2) I have several email addresses. I set up HAM and SPAM folders on each account in Squirrel Mail and populated the folders with lots of examples.

Do I have to set up a separate Cron Job for each email address? (The field for email address in Cron Job Standard seems to be about where to deliver the report, but not about which email account(s) to run on).

Thanks
