Are you sure you are not using amavis? With procmail, you could create per-user spam learn folders and basiean filters. With Amavis-new you are pretty much required to use a single system wide bayes database because of the limitations of amavis.
Cyrus also supports Plus Addressing so users can subscribe to lists as joe+opensuse and have the mail put into the opensuse sub-folder.
Definitely no amavis here, yet. I wanted a system-global learn-spam so all users could benefit from spam identification performed by everybody else. I have users drop unidentified spam into this "system global" imap folder, then I have a fetchmail script pull it from there and feed to to spamassassin for training the Bayessian filter.
Ah, I see. This works for homogeneous groups, but is not too good when the sales staff and the engineers share the same make server. What is spam to a salesman might be valuable tech info to a engineer, which is why you would want separate bays databases for each user.
Also, did you know you can simply point sa-learn to that directory where everyone moves the spam without having to fetchmail it out of there.
Thanks John, that is an idea I have been toying with - getting email into the filesystem and out of the cyrus mail-store will still require something along the lines of fetchmail. So far the user demographics allow me to go with one bayes db - I may have to do that for some other setups that are coming up. -- --Moby They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
