Hi, I've recently installed Spamassassin 2.63 on a RedHat Linux 9.0 with Sendmail. I've followed William Stearns's guide for integration of Spamassassin with Sendmail and found this guide very useful. However, I've got some questions to which I could find no answer and was therefore hoping that someone could help me with them. Following are the questions:
1. I've configured shared whitelist and bayes databases as described in the guide. I've now realised that, whilst the mbox file for the 'spamtrap' account is always 0 in size (/var/spool/mail), the equivalent 'hamtrap' mbox file is not. In fact, it seems to increase as more falsepositives are reported. Should I be concerned about this? Ideally, I'd like to delete all mail reported to spamtrap and hamtrap, once the necessary learning has been done... 2. Secondly, the guide mentions that the second difference between the .procmailrc files of hamtrap and spamtrap are the lines: learned-spam vs. #learned-ham. I've realised that this in effect create a file called learned-spam in /home/spamtrap/mail that stores all the spam messages. Is this necessary or can I safely delete the file and remove the learned-spam line from the .procmailrc file? 3. Finally, I'm also trying to configure 'restricting who can report' as mentioned in the guide. The problem is that I can't find an exact match to the header fields as mentioned in the guide. Specifically, the guide makes use of the ^Resent-* header fields, however, I could not find these fields when I resent messages myself. Could it be that my mail client (Microsoft Outlook) does not include them? The closest match I found was a Sender field which I'm currently making use of. Is it ok to just use this field (There was no equivalent field to the resent-message-Id field as mentioned in the guide)? Thanks for all your help. Joe
