Re: Update on SPAM messages getting through
OK,
So I dusted off the SpamAssassin stuff I had worked on - the server this list is hosted on had some upgrades done to it, which meant calling SpamAssassin directly was something I could do - it's very resource-intensive, but it was an option.But! There's another option and that's just to read the SpamAssassin headers inside the message itself. I left the original idea still in the program, so the option look like this:
So, if a message is seen as SPAM, it's silently ignored. No being bounced back to itself, the list owner - the *list* for some bizarre reason, just dead on arrival. And since it's based on SpamAssassin, when that module's rules, filters, etc get update, so does Dada Mail's, so we should be covered come whatever.
Whishlist items for 2.12 :-)
* For the first option (use exsisting SA headers), we should be able to customize the header name and the character used (i.e. it could be 'X-Spam-Level' and '*' -which I think is the SA default, or 'X-MyDada-SpamLevel' and 'S'), since this is not only configurable in SA, but also it is recommended to modify (so that a spam message can't try to fool you by including fake SA headers).
* There should be somewhere (a configurable mail address?) to send the spam messages and some means of manually authorizing a false positive.
(by no means this is intended to to stop the current implementation to be delivered as is in 2.11, which I think will definitively add a lot of value. This is why I labeled this for 2.12).
