Question

hi!
i've followed this instructions: http://docs.sun.com/source/819-0105/anti-spam.html#wp45386
to configure spasassassin and is working fine.
i want to know the score for all my mails not only the ones detected as spam so i want to enable headers for all mails.
is there a way to do it?

Hi,
Unfortunately due to a limit in the size of the argument to the spamfilter1_string_action parameter the sieve filter that does the heavy lifting has been moved to a channel level sieve.
So to discard the email over 10, tag emails below 10 (ham & spam) and file emails from 5-10 into a spam folder you need to do the following:
Replace the previous spamfilter1_string_action with:
spamfilter1_string_action=data:, require ["addheader","spamtest"]; \
spamadjust "$U"; addheader "Spam-test: $U"
Create a file called spamassassin.filter in your msg_base/config/ directory and add the following:
require ["spamtest","relational","comparator-i;ascii-numeric","fileinto"];
if spamtest :value "ge" :comparator "i;ascii-numeric" "10" {discard;}
elsif spamtest :value "ge" :comparator "i;ascii-numeric" "5" {fileinto "spam";}
else {keep;}
Add the following in your imta.cnf file to the ims-ms channel definition:
destinationfilter file:IMTA_TABLE:spamassassin.filter
do you add the spam header on ham too?Yes. ALL scanned emails gets a header added - no harm really.
how do you deal with spam in general?At my previous employee we did what was listed above. Discard spam > 10, tag all emails with the score and filter emails into a spam folder for those emails between 5 and 10 (actually this was customisable/user but that means having a different sieve filter/user and you need to write a custom admin interface for that - most users used the default level to filter into a spam folder).
Also make sure you write an expiry rule for the spam folder so that the spam emails don't build up and consume a users quota e.g. expire emails in the spam folder greater then 30 days.
