sorry about the topposting, but my MUA and your MUA don't seem to like each other.

 

for thunderbird, try the spam assassin coach.  its not finished, doesn't do any diagnostics, user feed back, error checking at all, but might be a good start.

 

other way to go is set up a shared public imap folder and 'move' or 'copy' the emails to the 'spam' or 'ham' folder and let an imap sa-learn.pl thing cun by crontab read these folders.

Hi

I am running a Postfix mail server set up with flurdis guide using SpamAssassin as well with a Bayesian Filter.

At SpamAssasin site said this:

If you want to set up site-wide use of Bayesian classification, you should set up a way for your users to send in misclassified mail to be "learned" from. If you create mailboxes for false positives and false negatives, you can then run a cron job intermittently to learn all the mails in that mailbox as spam (or non-spam).

 

 So i said to my users to send unwanted email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED],

currently i reached the number necessary to run the sa-learn filter and i saw this (at spamassasin site too):

For MUAs (Like Netscape/Mozilla) that do a good job with keeping original headers intact, (almost) all you need to do is forward the email to the feedback account and strip off the header added by the forward.

- Has someone gone throught this situation before? What did you do to clean the email from forward headers? Can you please give me the details for stripping forward headers added by Mozilla Thunderbird?

Is this the only thing to do with Outlook based clients ? : Create a *new* mail message in Outlook/Express. Resize the windows so that you can see both your new message as well as the main O/OE window. Select the messages you want to send as Spam or Ham (probably not both in the same message) and drag them "into" the new message. This will send all the messages as attachments to the main email.

Thanks for all your help !!
