Friends, If any of you ( like me ) have wanted to write your own Add-on Rules for SpamAssassin. I suggest http://www.intuitive.com/spam-assassin-rule-help.html it has given me the handful of hints that are needed for success.
and there are links in the thread below. I do have 1 question that is Qmail Toaster specific: Is there any limit to how long one might make the /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf ? in other words how many rules can one drop in without bogging down SA ? Would 5 - 10 make no impact on speed? thanks jims ----- prev ----- Jim Shupert, Jr. wrote: I like that idea of " write a rule for SA to target him, and just have it assign him 100 points " I have looked on the Toaster wiki and the SA site ... I do not find examples of this. How might one write a SA rule ? and does that get cronned or it is then part of the SA process? Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks alot ( also... when I become President ....Sapmmers will be treated like Bank Robbers.) I'd prefer them to be treated like deserters or people who commit treason.... Before I digress to far: Writing rules is a whole other world. Here's a link on writing rules (I don't agree with all his statements, but he IS linked to from the RulesEmporium site): http://mywebpages.comcast.net/mkettler/sa/SA-rules-howto.txt And here's a guide on Perl regex: http://daniel.haxx.se/projects/mail2sms/regex.shtml Or you can just dig through the rules and find examples.... Here's some of mine: Body test: body JV_Phaarm_Drug /MegaPha*rm/i describe JV_Phaarm_Drug Common word used by spammers in ED ads score JV_Phaarm_Drug 10.0 URI test (yes, I know about the period): uri JV_Pharm1l_Drug /sassantrappy.com/i describe JV_Pharm1l_Drug Pill ad web link score JV_Pharm1l_Drug 10.0
