Re: SpamAssassin/Procmail/Webmin-Usermin

I'm probably doing this much simpler and therefore not nearly as automated. I 
use a webmail app and my users check mail there. A filter exists in their 
account to push all mail flagged by SA to their Trash folder within mail. 
Then, I tell the users to check this bucket and move mail that's good (false 
positives) to a folder called Ham. There I can sa-learn it. If they have spam 
that SA misses, I have them push that to Spam (folder) where I can sa-learn 
that as well. My plan is to have a script that periodically sa-learns both 
folders then purges Spam and moved Ham to Clean. This gives users some 
control but no administrative functions. I could probably do all this with 
Procmail much better but I'm just not that familiar with Procmail, though I 
do have a filter to funnel all mail through the SA daemon since I wanted 
domain-wide scanning. I don't have that many users, so this works for me.
