Hi!
I have considered methods to let SPAMs which went under the spamassassin radar
(i.e. passed spamassassins check) but failed the member of list check (which
has so far been a 100% filter for this category) to be somehow sent into the
spamassassin learning process, so that list-admins/moderators can teach the
spamassassin filter. When doing this on a larger site like the one which my
mailman installation sits on also means that I don't have direct access to the
spamassassin processing, so some form of passing may be necessary.
I've toyed with these alternatives:
1) The moderator gets the option of click a "Is SPAM" check-box for a caught
message. A site-configuration decides weither this means forwarding the spam
to an email address, tossing it on an MBOX file or saving it as a separate
file.
2) The moderator gets a different default forward email address to a hidden
list (learnspam at domain), this hidden list archives the emails as normal but
has normally no members.
3) Have the front-end of the first proposal but actually use the normal email
listing mechanism of the second proposal.
The later of these are really just a quick-and-dirty implementation of the
first, but it does have its merits.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Magnus
