First of all, its worth remembering that no Spam Blocker is perfect. There will always
be some that beat the rules. The best way is to use the SpamAssassin to move the
suspect mail to another mail box that only your friend has access to. Having said that
(and If I was teaching Grandmother to suck eggs, I apologise) then the best bet is to
write the rules into procmailrc that will catch the spam.
One recipe is
:0fw
* < 100000 #anything greater than 100K in length
| /usr/bin/spamassassin -a #Go through Spam Assassin
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes #If the X-Spam header is Yes
/dev/null #File it
It is preferable however to do this
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail # Make sure this directory exists!
:0fw
* < 100000 #anything greater than 100K in length
| /usr/bin/spamassassin -a #Go through Spam Assassin
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes #If the X-Spam header is Yes
Spam-Store
Then do a touch $HOME/mail/Spam-Store
This will create a mailbox that can be read, and all the possible spam hits can go
there instead.
Hope this helps
