the [EMAIL PROTECTED] address tends to munge the address because the
forwarder will be the source. Tends to train the thing incorrectly.

Thanks Jake - your method works great. It was what I was trying to do, but
wasn't sure how to get it to work with the /new /cur Maildir layout. So I
did the whole "for" loop idea and sent it message by message to sa-learn
then deleted them. So slow...

Anyways, the only thing I changed on your script is added "--no-sync" to the
sa-learn --spam lines. The way it's setup on your page, it resyncs as it
learns, then you resync (again) at the end, so I think that's double the
work? no-sync allows it to skip the syncing 'til the end.

/usr/bin/sa-learn --spam --no-sync /home/vpop .... ld.com/spam/Maildir/new/*

Hope this tweaks performance a bit!

Also, I toyed with the idea of having the catch-all on our domain to send
all that mail to a user named "Spam"'s email inbox, which then gets sent to
sa-learn. This way, spammers who are guessing usernames are actually doing
us a favor! I haven't implemented this yet - I wanted to get other people's
ideas/comments on this first. Anything ?


 Glad it helped out.
 I had considered creating a spam box like you mention, but after doing some
research decided to hold off on this. The consensus is mixed on the subject;
some say it will taint your DB, others say it will not. I've seen other
implementations of mail servers that create a "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" email address
and have their users all send it to this, but I have not had time to install
this on a test machine to see if they do it a different way or not.
