You should be able to filter it, but you will also want to log it... that
way you can nail the sob's and shut down their accounts. Whatevber solution
you have will be crippled unless you know who it is - they will still waste
resources and they won't stop cause they don't know who gets their spam
anyways...

I did a patch to an older version of courer that added the authenticated
user name to the message logs - you should do something similar - trap your
spam and parse this information out - anyone guilty of sending more than X
spam messages is subject to review.

The danger of what you are trying in general is that false positives and how
you handle them... how do you notify the sender their message was detected
as spam and not delivered.

Subject: [courier-users] Outgoing mail and SpamAssasin (courierfilter?)


        Hi all.  I have two linked questions:
1.      Am I right in understanding that the tool of choice for filtering
        *outgoing* mail is that documented in the courierfilter man page?
2.      If so, has anyone got a script that works with courierfilter and
        SpamAssassin?

[Versions:
Courier: 0.42.2-1.7.2
Redhat: 7.2
Perl: 5.6.1
]

        Slightly longer version -- some of our ISP customers are being
used for relaying spam, and I'm trying to fix it.
