bayes 00

I've toyed with the idea of creating a mailbox for SPAM and HAM that users
can forward email into to be learned using a CRON job.

However, I'm concerned that since they would be forwarding the email, the
headers would be incorrect (different from the original).

Is there a way around this as it seems ideal to simply let users forward
email that they consider SPAM into some sort of account the be learned on a
CRON basis by SpamAssassin?

Then its really hard - unlress you archive a users or a lot of incoming mail
for a while, OR setup a mailbox to spam and ham on your servers. Again, it
will require a little planning and research. There is a guide in the maq on
www.mailscanner.info and plebnty in the list archives.

Let us know how you go.
