We're using MailScanner 4.26.8 and we're in the process of testing
SpamAssassin 2.63. The plan is to adopt it site-wide but I like the idea
of allowing users to "opt-in" to having their mail scanned for spam. I set
up a ruleset that's applied to the config parameters "Spam Checks" and "Use
SpamAssassin". It's working fine in testing but I've run into a few
problems. This ruleset is based on "to" addresses that determines whether
spam checking is done. Unfortunately, as you all know, we get lots of
e-mail with forged headers that, based on the header information, shouldn't
even appear in your mailbox. This makes using this ruleset for opt-in a
little ineffective.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to either (a) work around this
problem or (b) a better way to allow opt-in? Thanks in advance.
