I was hoping to reject the message immediately while the connection from the sender is still open. Not really bounce it back. Anyway, I can see where that could be very difficult.
As fas as dropping all spam into a spamtrap, this interests me very much. I have SA 2.55 installed now and would be willing to try to upgrade if there is an advantage. I am not sure how SA is called. I found a file called spamassassin-spamc.rc that contains the following: :0fw | /usr/bin/spamc Although I am not sure from where it gets called. I do not seem to have a bayes.db anywhere (which also interests me) Was there a bayes with 2.55 or was that later? Is there any documentation that would lay out how to set up a MYSQL/Postfix/Spamassassin/bayes configuration. (maybe I need something else to, I am not sure amavis for example)? Scott Dortch
