I have SLES 9 running our email using the default postfix LDAP setup and have amavis, clamd and Spamassassin configured (using the Yast Defaults mostly). Also we are using Cyrus as our POP/IMAP agent.
All seems to be well - as the admin I receive email notifications when SPAM or VIRUS emails are detected.
What I would like to do now is start getting Spam Assassin to take a more active role. I have read the README in /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-spamassassin. It directed me to look for a ~/.spamassassin directory - but none of our users have this directory setup by default. Should I just create it?
The easiest way would be to let Postfix use amavisd-new as a content-filter, as explained in the amavisd-new Postfix.readme file. Amavisd-new then calls SA and virus-checkers if you have those installed.
I would like to either: 1) Have Spamassassin put a score in the email headers that the users email agent can use for filtering.
That's default. I wouldn't know why that doesn't "work" with you if you have SA configured as you say.
or 2) Have Spamassassin not deliver the high scoring emails.
That's up to the MDA/MUA.
Is this possible? Can it be configured through Yast? There appears to be ample Spamassassin instructions, but much of it talks about procmail and client side filtering on Linux. As we are using Cyrus IMAP/POP I do not believe we are using procmail. Most of our users are POP users running Windows and Outlook.
I'm not sure about YaSt being able to do this, but certainly in an xterm or ssh session you can do this easily too.
Note: In case one did not notice, as the volume is low on suse-sles-e I am also posting to suse-linux-e - I hope this is OK.
