friends,
This is regarding my efforts to battle spam
I have followed
http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/SpamAssassin
I have a spam user and a ham user and I have the script for Spam
Assassin Bayes Training croned.
My q is How / what is the suggested method for
sending spam to the spam user and ham (good mail ) to the ham user
I Thought that i could forward mail to the respective users
That is - I get a unmarked ( no ****spam**** ) spam email in my
Thunderbird client
and then forward it to [email protected]
and the same for good mail forwarded to [email protected].
But I have found something in the web that says this is wrong
because those mails are coming from ...me
rather I should
Look at my mail in squirrel mail and sequestor
the spam into a spam dir [ INBOX/spam ] and examples of good mail in a
ham dir [ INBOX/ham ]
then I should ... at the server mv those mail files to
the spam and ham user like
/home/vpopmail/domains/<mydom>/<user spam>/new
My Qs
1
if that is right then where are those files I see in my squirrel mail ?
in the dir that i created named spam & ham
2
or is all this wrong and what is the suggested method for getting spam
into the spam user so that the Bayes Training script can learn from them.
thanks
jim shupert
