Currently in DA it says spamassassin is enabled for every email in the "bob.com" domain. Is it possible to disable spamassassin for [email protected] but leave it enabled for everybody else? Even if you can't do that in DA, is it possible with some manual configuration editing?

Thanks for your help!
 
I assume that this is due to this particular user bring very sensitive to false positives? If so then one solution would be to create a spamassassin rule based on emails sent to his address (which has a score of 0 or even a negative number), give it a priority that makes it run before everything else, and then create a short circuit which stops spamassassin as soon as this rule fires...

If this would do what you want, and you need me to give you a step by step guide, then post back here and I will take you through the process. I may not be an expert on much when it comes to direct admin and anything that runs on linux, but I can usually make spamassassin do what I want!
 
Nah, it was actually that the user was making use of pop instead of imap, and so there would be no way for the user to get any emails that were marked as spam and placed in the spam folder. (Atleast using outlook express there wasnt that I could see).

I just called and talked the user through setting up an IMAP connection instead and then set outlook express up to synchronize emails automatically so that emails would be available offline like they are using pop.

Problem solved :)

I appreciate the offer for help though. Thanks!
 
We recommend our clients log in through Squirrelmail to check their Spam folder.

But since I've never done it, I don't even know if that works.

Does it?

Hello, I'm interested in the problem of the first post. Because I have an email address [email protected] that receives all the email bounced after sending thousands of emails (email marketing, not SPAM).

Then, I'd like that SpamAssassin doesn't process that bounces for saving server resources.

Don't tell me, forward those messages to /dev/null !!! :rolleyes: I need them for maintain the lists clean and get statistics.

Thanks for your time.

You can disable SA for one account. Go to the SpamAssasin Setup and click on "Manually edit the config file yourself". Add the following line to user_prefs:

Code: 
whitelist_to [email protected]

Now all emails addressed to [email protected] should be skipped by SA scanner.
