As i understand from your recommendation is that you delete or do not
deliver to a mailbox all messages that are considered as spam ?
I never delete mail, its always bounced during the smtp conversation so
that the sender gets notified in case of a false positive or it is
accepted. I dont give the clients the option to play with the spam
settings in SA either and I get very few false positives.
I still deliver spam messages but i deliver them to the Spam folder
using procmail. If a user sets it's mailbox to forward all messages to
another external mailbox i think that the procmail is never run and if it
is run the message still gets forwarded.
Again, if i'm not mistaking you recommendation will not help me a great deal.
If this is how you want to run your systems then no my option is not
going to help you out. However I would recommend that if your going have
customers setting up forwards, you should consider rejecting the spam at
smtp conversation time instead. But that is of course your own choice.
I cant think of any way of having the email forwarded and yet not
forwarding on the spam.

If you care to explain in more detail what is the exact behavior and what
is going on ?
Simply run good spamassassin filtering on your server and you wont
forward spam on. If your not already, consider also using rules from
http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm in your SA setup and use
RulesDuJour to keep them up to date.

Hello list !
Is there a way i can control forwarder addresses that the users set ?
Here is the encountered scenario:
Users set a forward for the mailbox on my server to a remote yahoo
address. This causes for all spam that they receive to be also sent to
the
yahoo servers which, in turn, will start to consider my server as a
spamming one and keep deferring messages for large periods of times.
This
behavior disturbs other user's communications when yahoo addresses are
involved since the legitimate messages are deferred for large periods of
time also.
My question is, if a limit on the forwarded e-mail addresses can be set
to
only local addresses. This is a preferred behavior unlike disabling
forwards altogether.
Thank you in advance for your answers and clarifications in case i mis
understood the situation encountered.
