[Mimedefang] Sending Spam complaints

[Cormack, Ken]

Andrea,

Here's how we do it.  We are set up to NOT run SpamAssassin on outbound
traffic from our internal relay, and we do NOT run SA against the
systemically-generated traffic from any of our DMZ hosts.  First, we define
to subroutines...

# dont process outbound from taomap
sub Exclude_FromInternal() {
  # don't process stuff from internal relay
  if ($RelayAddr eq "XXX.XX.XXX.XX") {
    return 1;
  }
  return 0;
}

# dont process outbound from a DMZ host
sub Exclude_FromDmz() {
  # don't process stuff from DMZ
  if ($RelayAddr =~ /XXX.XX.XXX/) {
    return 1;
  }
  return 0;
}

Then in filter_end, we modify the call to SpamAssassin, as follows:

if ($Features{"SpamAssassin"} && !Exclude_FromInternal() &&
!Exclude_FromDmz()) {

Doing this, we still run SA to scan inbound traffic, but outbound traffic is
not processed by SA.  Hope this example helps.

Ken

Hello.
I apologize if this is a FAQ, but since I upgraded to 2.37 I have the
following problem: whenever a spam message gets
through my filters I inform the ISP where it originates and I obviously need
to send a copy of the offending mail;
sometimes this report is blocked as spam, even though the message alone
managed to reach my inbox.
How do I turn off spam checking on outbound e-mail (while obviusly leaving
it on for incoming ones)?

 bye & Thanks
        av.
