Hi,

i use qmailtoaster as relay to my exchange 2007 server and it works perfektly. I have 2 e-mail account on the server, spam@ and ham@, can qmailtoaster this e-mail accounts to use his spam filter to train?

No. Outlook, Outlook Express, etc. will rewrite the headers of the email when they get forwarded, so spamassassin will be learning from tainted headers and cause you more grief in the long run with false positives. You could implement something like DSPAM which would preserve the headers, or depending on your setup, have a shared folder for Spam/Ham in webmail if the messages are cached on the QMT machine. I'm not an Exchange person, but I seem to remember someone having shared folders on the Exchange machine for users to put their spam into.

I also use qmailtoaster to filter for an Exchange organization. We've got shared folders on our Exchange 2003 server, one for spam and one for ham, one each for the whole organization, not one each per user. I've enabled IMAP on the Exchange server. I use getmail on a 3rd box to retrieve submissions from the Exchange server, then I transfer them to the qmailtoaster box via SFTP. I run sa-learn via a daily cron job to train on submissions.

I've pondered automating this but decided against it. No matter how many times I remind our users, invariable there will be messages that are obviously spam in the ham folder and vice versa. I always manually check through submissions before pulling them down from the Exchange server.

This works great for us but we're a fairly small organization, less than 100 users. I wouldn't want to have to do this for thousands of users.
