A while ago I asked the list if there was a way to get Spamassassin and XMAIL to work so that each individual user had their own specific spamassassin preferences.
I worked over the weekend and was able to get it working, so I will share my thoughts with the list in case anyone else can get use of this. I will assume that you know the basics of compiling spamassassin and running XMAIL. First of all I had to get the latest spamassassin 2.5.0, because it has an option for "--virtual-config", that earlier versions of spamassassin did not have. When you run spamd you can specify the directory of user preferences based on domain (%d) and local name (%l), so for my server, my spamd command line options are as follows: /usr/bin/spamd -d -x --virtual-config-dir=/var/MailRoot/domains/%d/%l/spamassassin If the folder does not exist, spamassassin will create it automatically. You will then need to create your spamassassin filter, or look at the xmail webpage to find links to download prebuilt spamassassin filters. And then put it into the filters subdirectory of XMAIL. In the filters, you may need to change @RCPT to @RRCPT in case you have aliases, otherwise spamassassin will create a bunch of folders for any aliases. Finally, the new spamassassin changes the format of tagged email. For most intelligent email programs you will have no problem, but I had several clients with Outlook and Outlook express who were having problems. Basically Outlook would completely lock up trying to download any email tagged as spam. What you will have to do is add the line report_safe 0 to your /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf file, and restart spamd. That should make Spamassassin work properly with Outlook. Good Luck!
