HOW-TO: using spamc/spamd

[kerosin]

If is somebody interested in use of pair spamc/spamd (part of SpamAssassin installation) so your user settings are taken from Mysql table and users are able to adjust them(and per-user whitelist records) through module in Horde/IMP framework (demo http://nantucketkiteboarding.com/webmail L:demo P:demo). Make these changes in /etc/exim.conf

change:

local_delivery:
driver = appendfile
file = &${extract{5}{:}{${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/passwd}{$value}}}}/mail/inbox&
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
user = $local_part
group = mail
mode = 0660

local_sa_delivery:
driver = pipe
environment = &MAIL=${extract{5}{:}{${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/passwd}{$value}}}}/mail/inbox&
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
user = $local_part
group = mail
command = &/usr/bin/spamassassin-cpanel -w $sender_address&

to:

local_delivery:
driver = appendfile
file = &${extract{5}{:}{${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/passwd}{$value}}}}/mail/inbox&
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
user = $local_part
group = mail
mode = 0660

local_sa_delivery:
driver = appendfile
file = &${extract{5}{:}{${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/passwd}{$value}}}}/mail/inbox&
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
user = $local_part
group = mail
transport_filter = /usr/bin/spamc
mode = 0660


and this change:

virtual_sa_userdelivery:
driver = pipe
environment = &MAIL=${extract{5}{:}{${lookup{${lookup{$domain}lsearch*{/etc/userdomains}{$value}}}lsearch{/etc/passwd}{$val
ue}}}}/mail/${domain}/${local_part}/inbox&
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
user = &${lookup{$domain}lsearch* {/etc/userdomains}{$value}}&
group = mail
command = &/usr/bin/spamassassin-cpanel -w $sender_address&

virtual_userdelivery:
driver = appendfile
file = &${extract{5}{:}{${lookup{${lookup{$domain}lsearch*{/etc/userdomains}{$value}}}lsearch{/etc/passwd}{$value}}}}/mail/
${domain}/${local_part}/inbox&
quota = &${if exists{${extract{5}{:}{${lookup{${lookup{$domain}lsearch*{/etc/userdomains}{$value}}}lsearch{/etc/passwd}{$va
lue}}}}/etc/${domain}/quota} {${lookup{$local_part}lsearch*{${extract{5}{:}{${lookup{${lookup{$domain}lsearch*{/etc/userdomai
ns}{$value}}}lsearch{/etc/passwd}{$value}}}}/etc/${domain}/quota}{$value}}} {}}&
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
user = &${lookup{$domain}lsearch* {/etc/userdomains}{$value}}&
group = mail
mode = 0660


to :


virtual_sa_userdelivery:
driver = appendfile
file = &${extract{5}{:}{${lookup{${lookup{$domain}lsearch*{/etc/userdomains}{$value}}}lsearch{/etc/passwd}{$value}}}}/mail/
${domain}/${local_part}/inbox&
quota = &${if exists{${extract{5}{:}{${lookup{${lookup{$domain}lsearch*{/etc/userdomains}{$value}}}lsearch{/etc/passwd}{$va
lue}}}}/etc/${domain}/quota} {${lookup{$local_part}lsearch*{${extract{5}{:}{${lookup{${lookup{$domain}lsearch*{/etc/userdomai
ns}{$value}}}lsearch{/etc/passwd}{$value}}}}/etc/${domain}/quota}{$value}}} {}}&
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
user = &${lookup{$domain}lsearch* {/etc/userdomains}{$value}}&
transport_filter = &/usr/bin/spamc -u ${local_part}@${domain}&
group = mail
mode = 0660

virtual_userdelivery:
driver = appendfile
file = &${extract{5}{:}{${lookup{${lookup{$domain}lsearch*{/etc/userdomains}{$value}}}lsearch{/etc/passwd}{$value}}}}/mail/

envelope_to_add
return_path_add
user = &${lookup{$domain}lsearch* {/etc/userdomains}{$value}}&
group = mail
mode = 0660

And I also invite you to see how new Horde/IMP framework (including SAM-modul for setting of Spamassassin parameters and per-user whitelists) look on CPanel machine. You have to see it and feel it . See all setting - like automatic expanding addresses in To: field from your addressbook, for exapmle:

yummm

I must say.. i do like what I see.

Now, here's what I haven't seen yet, but would like to:
1) Turn off subject ***SPAM*** tagging.
2) Drop the suspected spam into a seperate 'spam' folder.
3) Add a new column to be displayed in the 'spam' folder that shows the X-Spam-Level tag in the email header.

Why? Instant identification of spamlevel... for instance, user sees three spam stars (***) in the spam-level column, they might check it out.. just to be sure... but if it's eight-star spam they wouldn't even need to be concerned.

I've attempted to write an outlook macro to do that, but no success. If there was a webmail package on cpanel that did that, I'd throw away outlook. Spam is so time consuming; spamassassin really helps out, but you can't alway trust anything automated. We all check our spam to see what didn't get through; this would just make that 95% easier & faster.
