Re: Alternative to Postfix header_checks?
Gerald Turner a écrit : [snip] It is before-queue while the SMTP connection is still active. I like to bounce in case legitimate people that have yet to be whitelisted trigger a false-positive. yes, reject is generally better than discard. Other than possibly dropping a false-positive is there anything else I should know of? No. just false positives. but this is a real problem. of course, this is site/person dependent. Instead of discarding mail, deliver it to a mailbox or folder that you can review. This review can be done quickly (sort by subject, ... etc). Yes but I think I'm getting what I want in this case: list spam is discarded, whether forged or not. Indeed. I hope you are aware that mail from some lists (such as this one) may contain spammy text or patterns (people sending a sample, ... etc). - There are other cases when you don't want to reject (mail to ab...@example.com, ... etc). That's the other problem I'm trying to solve (don't reject mail sent to these quasi-spamtrap addresses, simply discard) - I can see how to do it now with custom rules checked in X-Spam-Status header. Thanks for the suggestion. No, mail to ab...@* should be read. if there is a problem with your server, this is how we would tell you. and to avoid N steps conversations, we will include headers or the content of the spam we received from you... etc. abuse@ and postmaster@ are part of the mail system. don't let spammers destroy this system.

I may be wrong, but I thought that 0 disables the rule, not (0). Probably I should re-read Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf(3). score 0 disables the rule. meta (0) always returns false. So he is still querying the RBLs, but throwing the results on the floor. really? I see meta RCVD_IN_DSBL (0) in the updates. I doubt this means SA still queries dsbl. Can someone please clarify?

Re: Daily run output
If the actual subject is Daily Run Output, it's most likely being generated by a FreeBSD system. By default those emails go to root. I'm not sure how to change that, but at least this should help with the googling.

custom post-processing. Howto?
Hi, Spamassassin 3.2 works very good for me. Now I want to write a plugin in Perl that will be executed by spamassassin after each email is processed. This script would have to know sender address, sender ip, and score assigned by SA. Is it possible?

Could someone tell me what configuration file i need to change in order to change the email address this email is being sent to? Regards, To change the address where cron job messages are sent, follow directions given by Rubin Bennett. If you only want to change where logwatch messages go, then add a 'MailTo = ' entry into the file '/etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf' - defaults are saved in the file '/usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf' If however, you want to redirect all messages sent to user 'root' to another user account or even to a group, here's what you need to do: 1/ Create a new user account - a good name is 'sysnotify' 2/ Locate the line starting with 'root:' in the file '/etc/aliases' and change it to look like this: root: sysnotify 3/ Create the file 'home/sysnotify/.forward' and add the follwing to it: us...@domain.com,us...@domain.com,us...@domain.com,[local logon id],... You can add as many e-mail addresses as you like as long as you comma separate them! If you want the message sent a user on the same system that has an account on the box, then you can simply enter that users logon id. If you want a copy left in the 'sysnotify' account, then you need to enter '\sysnotify' into that file. The '\' ensure that a loop is not created! The assumption I made for the above is that you are running a Red Hat Linux based Linux server such as Red Hat itself, Fedora Core, or CentOS. Cheers, Anthony.
