Topic: Spam Filter Configuration. Question from a newbie!

[mmccarn]

Is there a way to create a spam quarantine like this if I am using an Internal mail server?

[RayG]

Mail is only scanned once, on the way into the system. It's not scanned during distribution and delivery.

I have created an account to receive all spams and disabled filtering on it. I have also set up the "qpsmtpd Bcc" to archive all email in and out. I'm receiving a second copy of each spam in the spamboss mailbox which I assume comes from the filtering on the bccuser account. So it seems mail is being scanned more than just on the way in.

I've also created "/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/service/qpsmtpd/config/peers/local/70spamassassin" to scan email coming in on the lan. Could this be the cause of the second spam copy ?

The second spam copy isn't causing any problems but I would like to understand it on my way toward creating a feature request and suggesting documentation updates in the bug tracker.

This will put all spam in the INBOX of the user junkmail.

I use the script from Blackbox and CharlieBrady - thx by the way

but there's a little problem - the spam mails for the user junkmail were duplicated:

I use IMAP via Outlook

First the spam messages are only in the Inbox when I click a message to read, the message was marked delete and the same message was in the Junk-E-Mail folder as unread.

I would not like to give my users IMAP and Webmail.

Any reason why not? You can still block IMAP access, if you didn't want that, but give them access to webmail. Webmail is a great way to get at those junkmail mailboxes and to check, send and receive mail when not at your normal mail client. I personally find it invaluable, and would recommend not writing it off so easily.

I have the same questions. I have tried, several times over a few days, to go to the link you specified at sonoracomm.com but it always says it is unavailable.

Is this a known issue?
