Hello,
I have the following problem: Some of my emails I get through a mailserver of
my university and they're forwarded to my private account. On this server
runs SpamAssassin with report_safe option set to 1, thus generating a new
message with the scan results and the original message embedded as an
attachment.
Now I also run SpamAssassin on my local computer. But my local SpamAssassin
does not get the email in the original form (because of report_safe) and
because of that has big problems to identify the message as spam. Almost all
messages come though to my inbox. If I would feed the original message to my
SpamAssassin it would detect it as spam (I tested that manually).
The admin of the university mail server could not be convinced to set
report_safe to 0.
Now of course I could just trust the SpamAssassin of the other mailserver and
filter my email based on its SpamLevel Header. But I do not want that. I want
to run my own SpamAssassin with my own settings, configuration, bayes etc. I
do not want somebody else deciding what of my emails are spam and what not.
So my question is: How can I teach SpamAssassin to handle emails in
report_safe format differently and only use the (embedded) original email for
analysis not the message as a whole?
As an example of what I mean, I attached such an email. You see a spam message
embedded in a message with the result of the university's mailserver
SpamAssassin (score 13.30) and in the headers the results of my local
SpamAssassin (score 3.8).
Thank you,
Stephan
