It was implied by a response from John Hardin yesterday and makes sense. I have tuned my production mail filters to block > 90% of spam via DNS checks and RBLs in Postfix so SA only has to block a few percent of the total potential mail. That means my production SA is not going to see the majority of spam. I only have to deal with the occassional compromised account sending spam for a short period before it is either detected and locked or becomes listed on enough RBLs. I am currently setting up a new MX and getting mail flowing to a newly built iRedMail server. Then I will look at the SVN scripts to get that part setup. http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/spamassassin/trunk/masses/contrib/automasscheck-minimal/ I am not familiar with amavis-new since I have been using MailScanner so I will research how to setup the SA development environment with iRedMail's amavis-new. I have disabled most of the Postfix settings to block spam (DNS and RBLs) that iRedMail sets up so SA should see almost everything sent to a catchall mailbox. Then I plan to login to that account regularly and categorize ham and spam.
