I would suggest to be more specific: which functions do we wish to have, what is necessary to implement them, and is the effort worth it? - run Spamassassin (or another classification) on all messages: IMHO this is the MTA's job, so let's assume it already happens - hold or discard Messages marked as spam: Set up Spam-Filter rules with "X-Spam-Flag: YES", "X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*", or whatever. It is not the most user friendly interface, but certainly the most configurable and flexible one. - give feedback to train a classifier: The admindb interface already has a checkbox to save spam. IMHO it should be given a better label (cf. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1910552&group_id=103&atid=300103) but it exists and the site administrator only has to train the saved messages regularly. (On my site I deliver them into a shared IMAP spam-folder for review and training.) - reclassify mails in the hold-queue: This sounds quite promising (I know some people do this successfully with IMAP inboxes). But as already mentioned this requires additional effort from the site admins, which probably will not change a working Amavis setup for this. P.S.: I hope this mail did not become too negative. I am always in favour of better and more user friendly spam filters. But there are quite a lot of spam-related patches already and any new approach should be clearly better than the already existing hooks and functions. Otherwise it is just a waste of time which should be used for other problems (MM3 comes to mind). -- Martin _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
