I just found the 'best thing since sliced bread':

http://www.maiamailguard.com

Fantastic front end to amavisd ... moves the training/reporting/rescue to a web front end, and keeps it out of the mailbox ...

Its finally allowed me to get rid of the spamcheck 'python link to lmtp' which was a nightmare, and allows me to do per-user anti-virus and spam processing, instead of 'either on, or off, for a whole domain' ...

Any simple way to find the local recipient the message was going to?


Deliver it to them first. Then they can volunteer a copy and you can discard it after training. It's still a bad idea, but may be useful if the participants are restricted and trustworthy.

Mailbox is shared by a few trusted users.

Hope were back on track.

In that case, it's still easier to let these users do your classification. Instead of moving the trained messages, delete them and purge. Since you are training your bayes database, it will help in the long run.

The problem is that once the message is delivered, recipient information is usually lost. The MTA keeps track of destination addresses while the messages are in its queue, but an IMAP server only manages recipient mailboxes. I use postfix, and put messages with marginal SpamAssassin scores in the HOLD queue for inspection. I delete 99% of these, so I usually don't bother to retrain on the false positives. I will retrain on the junk that leaks through to my own account, though. Periodic SpamAssassin upgrades are more helpful, and new rules bootstrap the bayes database pretty well.
