Not to get too far off track here, but while we are on the topic of
dovecot...has anyone had any experience setting up shared/public
namespaces in dovecot for global spam/ham folders? I'm trying to figure
out the best way to train spamassassin, and the issue at hand is that
the mailboxes are actually stored on a separate QMT machine, and my SA
boxes simply do the scanning/filtering before passing the mail to the
next hop using smtproutes. Just fishing for some ideas.
Let me try this again. ;)
I think you're asking for trouble by setting up a mechanism where by
users can train your bayes database, at least in an ISP setting with
multiple domains. What's spam to one person could be ham to another.
With so many users, this could easily get out of hand.
To begin with, SA is not intended nor geared for global learning. At
best it can handle relatively small domains. Certainly not cross-domain
learning. When it comes to global learning, DSpam is better at that.
Unfortunately, QMT doesn't do DSpam yet, and don't expect it soon.
What problem is it that you're trying to address? I think setting up SA
with training in an ISP setting is perhaps a solution that'll end up
being worse than the problem it's intended to solve. I'm not running an
ISP setting though, so I could be wrong.
Any ISP users out here that have an opinion about this?
