When
mail is received, spamassassin analyses the mail with a scoring system. When the
SPAM score is more than the set treshold, it gets tagged as SPAM then sent
to you user's Inbox. If the spam mail has a score much higher than 12 (i think),
the mail gets dropped altogether and it will not even appear in the Inbox.
There
is no way to block such spam attempts. This is where the CHKUSR feature of QT
helps prevent these mails from coming in. Once the user is non-existant in the
domain, the mail gets dropped. Yes, it generates a lot of traffic but there is
no way you can stop this from happening. CHKUSR will prevent those mails from
coming in, but you cannot prevent the attempts altogether.

[qmailtoaster] spam assassin
hi,
i have just added spamassassin rules from jake's site and i want to know how does spam assassin react with spam.. does it put spam in a seperate folder called spam in the users email box or will it just delete or bounce the mail back to the sender...
and i have seen the logs and it says a lot of spam bots are hitting my servers for emails like they are trying [EMAIL PROTECTED] , [EMAIL PROTECTED] .. now what should i do to block them ??
