-- Variable: spam-use-spamassassin
Set this variable if you want ‘spam-split’ to use SpamAssassin.
SpamAssassin assigns a score to each article based on a set of
rules and tests, including a Bayesian filter. The Bayesian filter
can be trained by associating the ‘$’ mark for spam articles. The
spam score can be viewed by using the command ‘S t’ in summary
mode.
If you set this variable, each article will be processed by
SpamAssassin when ‘spam-split’ is called. If your mail is
preprocessed by SpamAssassin, and you want to just use the
SpamAssassin headers, set ‘spam-use-spamassassin-headers’ instead.
You should not enable this if you use
‘spam-use-spamassassin-headers’.
-- Variable: spam-use-spamassassin-headers
Set this variable if your mail is preprocessed by SpamAssassin and
want ‘spam-split’ to split based on the SpamAssassin headers.
You should not enable this if you use ‘spam-use-spamassassin’.
-- Variable: spam-spamassassin-program
This variable points to the SpamAssassin executable. If you have
‘spamd’ running, you can set this variable to the ‘spamc’
executable for faster processing. See the SpamAssassin
documentation for more information on ‘spamd’/‘spamc’.
SpamAssassin is a powerful and flexible spam filter that uses a wide
variety of tests to identify spam. A ham and a spam processors are
provided, plus the ‘spam-use-spamassassin’ and
‘spam-use-spamassassin-headers’ variables to indicate to spam-split that
SpamAssassin should be either used, or has already been used on the
article. The 2.63 version of SpamAssassin was used to test this
functionality.
