First SpamAssassin than tmda with LDAP, but how to setup

[Ronald Wiplinger]

I would like to give it a try to install tmda, but:

1. I use sendmail on Linux, with rbl list filtering

2. I use system wide SpamAssassin, which flags already recognized Spam, and reduce so my willingness to read the e-mail.

3. After SpamAssassin I would like to use tmda, to get the writer into a white list, BUT, I would get this whitelist useful into the LDAP database. That way I have two advantages:
a. The LDAP is filled up automatically (system wide)
b. The LDAP can be used than as the addressbook for all users at the system with different ways of sending mails, like from the desktop, or from a webmail program, ....

Problems so far:
1. How to setup the above wish at all, SpamAssassin followed by tmda (procmail)
2. I hear problems with mailing lists and Amazon and E-bay auction mails
3. I would like to let tmda only flag messages as "unconfirmed sender", sending back the requestes for confirming, but still let the messages through, and filter according to this flag the message into an extra folder with my desktop program
4. tmda must be so clever that it does not loop, is it so? E.g., if I ask for a confirmation, than it should not try to make ping pong with this confirmation request.
5. confirmed sender should be added into the LDAP database.

Can it be done, and if how? (So far I have already compiled it without error - hahahaha).

thank you!


bye

Ronald
