Mailscanner plus SpamAssassin and CRM114

[Massimo Gaspari]

Hi 

>From CRM114 How-to :

"..... you'll just get all your spam
   delivered as usual, with additional headers telling you it was
   spam....."

Setting CRM before MS and then adding a header TAG (for example
X-CRM114:), checked later by SpamaAssassin with just score ... 

in this way it could be used CRM114 -> MailScanner -> SpamAssassin ->
MailWatch together

it could be an idea ..!?

I have become a big fan of Mailscanner in the last couple of months and
have installed it on all our mail systems.

I have been comparing the quality of the spam rejection from
Spamassassin (with Bayes, Razor et al) vs the spam filter in my copy of
Eudora.  Despite teaching, SpamAssassin does not seem to come up to the
level of Eudora's filter.

I have recently discovered CRM114 (crm114.sourceforge.net) which claims
and does produce very accurate results.  Using the distributed learnt
files, it was almost 100% accurate.

Obviously I would like to integrate this into my Mailscanner setup. I
can potentially do it by adding a stage before MS but I was wondering if
there might be a better way?  Unfortunately I cannot find one as I can
find no way to make MS or SA call a program to check for spam.  Before I
try to add such a mechanism, I thought I would ask here to see if anyone
else could think of a route.

Regards.
Simon.
