Topic: Seperate SPAM filter level for different users

[JanP]

I have the problem/challenge that the spam filter level has to set at a very low level to ensure that my users "non spam" mails aren't rejected in the spam filter.
This has then the disadvantage that I get a lot of spam on my IMAP account.
I have been forced to set :
Custom spam tagging level/rejection level at :18/19

Can I in some way change these levels only for my own account to  3/4  ?

You cannot do this on an out of the box SME installation, but with some additional contribs installed.

Install the contribs RPMs smeserver-mailsorting and smeserver-qpsmtpd-spamassassinlevelstars

Set
Custom spam tagging level = 1
Custom spam rejection level = 12
Sort spam into junkmail folder    = Disabled
Modify subject of spam messages = Disabled

Then every user must setup two mailfilter rules in the user-manager, one for deleting and another for moving the mail into the junkmail folder depending on the number of  asterisks (*) in the X-Spam-Level header field.

Hi Michael !

I have installed the two RPM's, but I can't get it to work.
After installation I login as one of my testusers and choose the emailsettings in the user panel and changed the spam filter level.

But when checking I found out that the level also has changed in the my own user-panel !!!

What can I have done wrong ????

Jan,
you must not delegate the email settings panel to normal users. The users have (with smeserver-mailsorting installed) in the user-manager the panel "Your Settings->Process Mail", where they can define the needed rules by hitting the button "Add new rule"

I think you also need
smeserver-qpsmtpd-spamassassinlevelstars

and you need to escape the * in the panel/rule

X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*

Custom spam tagging level/rejection level at :18/19

Typically you would have
Tag level=4
and
Rejection level=14
or thereabouts, and these values should work reasonably well.

It makes me think you do not have RBL enabled, do you ?
