I've recently installed the spamassasin module and it all seems to be working ok however i have a question about the spam folder it moves the mail to. If a user has multiple websites it only creates 1 folder called spam and the only way i can view it is throuigh pine. Is there way to set it up so each email address has it's own spam folder? and is viewable via webmail or imap.

Hope this make sense :D
 
That's a limitation of the way SpamAssassin works under DA I'm afraid.
Only the default user account for that domain can access the spam folder although this is accessible via IMAP and Webmail (Squirrelmail) as long as you subscribe to the folder.
It does mean that virtual mail accounts can't access the mail that has been moved into the spam folder and they just remain blissfully ignorant of it's existance.
 
Bugger is right. This is a bit of a hold up for me deciding to go with DirectAdmin. I currently have no control panel, so I configure my users to each have a spamassassin spam folder that they can check via webmail.

If spamassassin doesn't work this way in DA, what are some recommended configurations to allow each email address to filter spam with spamassassin yet still double check what is getting filtered?

Or do clients just have to experiment with a threshold that works for them, combined with blacklists and whitelists?

Thank in advance to DA users!
 
Spam folder per user?

Anyone know what needs to be done to create a spam folder per user? :confused:

Even if it needs hacking config files, I think it's a better idea.... it's a pain in it's current form and not very usable. :(
 
I've tried adding this:
if $h_X-Spam-Status: begins "Yes"
then
save /home/username/imap/domain/mailbox/mail/spam
endif
Click to expand...

to /etc/virtual/domain/filter

but it doesn't seem to work. Anyone know how to get this to work. It should theoretically work with Exim
