No, you don't _need_ a special user in your domain to catch spam for
training. There are ways to do that, look up "spamtrap" for instance.
But as per the document domain wide, user need to create
and as the users to forward the spam mail to that user and learn.
correct me if my understand wrong
Oh. I misunderstood what you were saying, sorry.
Creating a spam account for your users to forward messages to is one way
to do this, yes.
so all my users are using Outlook express, when they see some message
is spam how can i ask them to report back so that create rules based
on that
How are your users retrieving their mail from the server? POP or IMAP?
If they are using POP then it becomes difficult, as the mail client
will unavoidably mangle the spam messages when your users try to send
them to you to be learned. I'll let others who actually use POP comment
on that.
90% of my users are Outlook express.. people on the roam use Imap, but its
only 20%, but iam more concern people using OE.
"My users use Outlook Express" tells us as much as "my users use
Thunderbird". The mail client they use doesn't have a lot of bearing on
the design of your mail system.
How do the Outlook Express users access their mailboxes? POP or IMAP?
I expect they use POP, that's the most common method.
i appriciate if some one using this kind of setup.
If you are using IMAP it becomes really easy. Just set up a
SpamAssassin-SPAM mail folder for each user, tell them to _move_ spams from
their inbox to that folder, and train from it nightly. Poke around under
http://www.impsec.org/~jhardin/antispam/ for some scripting that you can
use as a starting point.
thanks for the link, let me see what best i can do for the users who
using IMAP
For POP users, the general model is to have them forward spams _as
attachments_ (if they don't forward them as attachments they are useless)
to the spam account, then there is a script that extracts the attachments
from those messages and learns them.
I don't use POP so I can't provide an example.
