Topic: Forwarding SPAM-Mail to admin

[SchulzStefan]

A few days ago I made an upgrade on SME 6.0.1-01. Thx to http://sme.swerts-knudsen.dk - antivirus and spamassassin are working fine. So far so good.

Question: Does anybody know how to trick the spamassassin to deliver the all SPAM-Mail to the admin mailbox? I want to proof a few days if the classification of the incoming mail works correct.

Thank's in advance

Hi Stefan

Install usermanager-panel and procmail; define a rule looking for subject SPAM and forward it to the admin account (where I assume that you didn't define a forward in your admin account, otherwise you end up in a loop).

Hi Sjef,

thank you for your reply. I installed the user-panel. Also procmail is installed. So, where do I have to define the rule looking for SPAM?

You log in as admin into https://yourdomain.server-manager , select security/user panel access and then enable the proc-mail settings for the users it concerns.
Then log in with the username you want to process the mail for at https://yourdomain.usermanager (don't forget https), then you select process mail.

Hi Sjef,

thank you for your reply. I'll try this over the night. I think with your help I'm on the right way.

in this case we muste cofigure the rule for all the users one by one ???

and when you have 100 or more users ?

This is a pretty good question - meanwhile I tried the settings Sjef told me. Spamassassin is rejecting spam, but I do not get a copy of the rejected mails.

So in fact, I do not really know, what kind of e-mails have been rejected. I think, that's not a really good situation for a sysad.

So, does anybody know how to get this in a safe way?

Stefan, what do you mean by that?

Spamassassin only tags messages, it does not reject them (at least if you don't use the servermanager spam RBL feature).
If you lose messages then there is something wrong!

It does report "rejected messages" but that only means that it found those messages.

Do you maybe drop your spam in a junkmail folder but forgot to synchronize folders in your IMAP client?

Hello Sjef,

thank you for staying online.

Hmm, I activated the rbl-list feature. The mrtg reports, that mails have been rejected.

All clients in our network use ms-outlook, we are still  working with winnt workstations. My intention is to make sure, that I get a copy of the tagged and rejected spam-emails to my account, which is a different account as the root account.

That's all.
Stefan
