Side question: is it recommended to activate the ValidRcptHandler, meaning as stated in the doc that " all email will get rejected which has no valid user", and also that the sender will be notified of this?

I am wondering how spammers will react because you're giving them useful information : they know that your server informs if the user does not exist - Aside, If you server say nothing, this means that the user exists, and that it could be spammed...

So, should I activate the ValidRcptHandler to fight spam?

Tks,

Eric

Thanks for that Norman,

Will something like that work, I am concerned about part which directs
messages tagged as spam to spam processor.

<mailet notmatch="SenderHostIsLocal" class="SpamAssassin">
<spamdHost>localhost</spamdHost>
<spamdPort>783</spamdPort>
</mailet>

<mailet match="HasMailAttributeWithValue=org.apache.james.X-Spam-Flag, yes"
class="ToProcessor">
    <processor>  spam</processor>
</mailet>

Hi Max,

just put it in the spoolmanager.xml in the processor of your choice.

For howto config it just see the javadocs:


http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/james/server/trunk/mailets/src/main/java/org/apache/james/transport/mailets/SpamAssassin.java?view=markup


Hope it helps,

Bye,
Norman

Hi Norman,

Yep, I understand about handler, I would love to use a SpamAssassin
mailet
but can't find a section in any James 3 config file.

To which config file I need to add SpamAssassin mailet and what exactly
should I put there? Is this mailet bundled with James 3 distribution?

Any config examples would be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Max,

the SpamassasinHandler only support rejecting messages. I don't see
why you not just use a Mailet if you don't want to reject. Any reason
?

Thx,
Norman

Hi guys,

I am exploring new features of James, and found that now SpamAssassin
can
be
connected as a fastfail handler. What if I need instead of rejecting
a
message in protocol(if spamd found spam) during SMTP session I need
to
tag
headers or hold message in a quarantine, which setting should I use
in
those
two cases? If possible can you give config examples.

Here is how default config looks like in smtpserver.xml

             <handler
class="org.apache.james.smtpserver.fastfail.SpamAssassinHandler">
                 <spamdHost>  127.0.0.1</spamdHost>
                 <spamdPort>  783</spamdPort>
                 <spamdRejectionHits>  10</spamdRejectionHits>
             </handler>

Thanks.
