One of the principle uses of my Gentoo box is to aggregate all of my
disparate pop-3 accounts, filter spam and to provide access to the ham
from my desktop and laptop using Thunderbird (both, I admit, under
Windows.)
In the most part I am happy with this setup (postfix, dovecot, procmail,
spamassasin ruledujour, razor, pyzor, DCC - with remote ssh tunnels
for smtp and IMAP4) - this configuration successfully filters about
99.5% of my spam without having (yet) introduced a false positive - a
fact I attribute to the advantage that my ham is extremely unlikely to
be matched in DCC/razor/pyzor. Every day, however, I do receive a
couple of spams which I don't automatically identify. These spams are
easy enough to move out of my inbox or delete by hand, but I can't help
thinking it would be better to report these spams back to
DCC/razor/pyzor hoping to eliminate similar rubbish in future. I'm
aware of the command line client razor-report, but to be honest using
that directly is a bit of a pain...I really need a strategy to report
spam which requires no more human intervention than at present is needed
to manually remove the spam from my inbox.
I wonder if it would be possible to set-up an internal account spam
to which only local users (i.e. myself) can send mail... bounce all my
spam there (using the Mail Redirect extension?) - and somehow use
procmail to report it? Is there a neater solution?
I've written a small program in C doing something similar: Feeding
user-selected spam and ham to sa-learn. Of course, it could be done with a
sophisticated shell-script, but I wanted to learn C ;-)
The feeding task is accomplished by shell-script, which can be edited to
whatever you like. Maybe you can edit it, to feed your spam to DCC/razor/pyzor.
The program and script are expecting that you use maildirformat on your
IMAP-server, which is default on a gentoo/postfix-installation.

The category is mail-filter.
Comments welcome.
