Spam & hamΒΆ

Since we’re using SpamAssassin for our spam filtering, we also configured it to learn from Spam & Ham.

You can feed SpamAssassin emails for Spam & Ham the following way:

  • Create a new (sub-)mailbox called Junk/Learn as Spam for Spam

  • Create a new (sub-)mailbox called Junk/Learn as Ham for Ham (aka non-Spam)

  • Copy or move the emails you want to be learned as Spam into the Junk/Learn as Spam mailbox

  • Copy the emails you want to be learned as Ham into the Junk/Learn as Ham mailbox

The mail server will scan those mailboxes every 10 minutes and teach SpamAssassin about the new spam & ham messages.

Important

The emails will be purged after they’ve been learned. So don’t move any important mails into the Junk/Learn as Ham directory. Instead, make a copy of the email into the Junk/Learn as Ham directory.
