Thanks to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for directing my attention to the
$spam_admin configuration setting.
Here's what I'm doing now:
(1) I set $spam_admin to a suitable local admin address.
(2) I set $sa_tag2_level_deflt, $sa_kill_level_deflt, and
$sa_dsn_cutoff_level to 5.
My understanding is that the above steps should cause any
message with a spam score of 5 or higher to be quarantined
and reported to the local admin -- but not delivered to
the addressee, and not reported to the sending address.
I then set up a Procmail rule to discard any spam notifi-
cation with a score of 10 or higher. This means I'll see
notices for anything with a spam score of at least 5 but
less than 10 -- which will allow me to take action in
case a legitimate message is false-positived, but without
bothering me with cases of indisputable spam.
(Is there any way, BTW, to tell amavisd not to bother
sending a notice to $spam_admin if the spam score exceeds
a given limit? Then I wouldn't have to suppress the high-
scoring notices with Procmail.)
The way I have things set up now, I won't send any bounce
notices at all (because $sa_dsn_cutoff_level is the same
as $sa_tag2_level_deflt and $sa_kill_level_deflt). I'll
still be generating SMTP rejections, though, for mail to
unknown local user names in my domain.
Any comments welcome.
