I'm working on the procmail script. I'll keep you posted.<br>

<pre wrap="">Thanks for the reply guys. What I want to do is make the filtering on the
server side. I'm running imap so like yahoo/hotmail, junk emails will
automatically go to their 'junk' folder and users can access them either
with their client using IMAP or webmail.
So what do you think is better to do:
1. Just prepend the subject with like: Subject: Probable Spam <Original
Subject>
2. Add an extra header like: X-Spam = Y/N
Then in either way, emails will be scanned and if found to be spam, will
go to the junk folder.
So you think the best way to filter this is thru procmail? Oh wait, I'm
using MySQL to auth users BTW.
Cheers.
Edward

<pre wrap="">You may also be able to do this with MailScanner + a procmail script
(someone please correct/enlighten me about something like this).
Now that I think of it, could someone post a procmail recipe (or help
with googling one from somewhere) that would automagically put
everything that MailScanner marks as SPAM into a Junk folder?

Hello all. It's my first post.
I haven't read all the docs on MailScanner yet because I want to
make sure
that what I am planning to do is possible. I've just been on this
job for
almost a month and I was assigned this project. What my boss wants
is to
redirect all spam mails intended for a select list of users' 'junk
folder.' Much the same way as Yahoo and Hotmail.
Can this be done thru MailScanner?
Sorry again. I just need a quick answer before I delve into the
mailing
list archives and documentations.
If you mean a local junk folder in your mail client you need to set it
up with a filter, all mail clients can do that (Outlook/Thunderbird
and so on). MailScanner can add X-headers and/or changes in the
subject line ({Spam?} at the start) for it to trigger on. You can also
sort on spam score.
