Currently SpamAssassin marks the email with spam and the user's still receive the message with spam notice.

Is this possible to move the spam message to a folder, so that users can accessing it in some way?

I hope this question won't be a little bit stupid.. :p

There are two parts to the post.

The first part is for setting up per-domain options.

The second part is for doing exactly what you want.

The save path will probably need twekaing as the directories won't exist, but you might need to actually specify a file beacause of the mbox format. (Note that any changes to their filter through DA will overwrite the file, so you might want to set the owner to root/755 so that it can't be touched)

Hrr~ There is something that i need to understand more,
I need to create the directory $home/spam according to the said example, but what is the mbox format ?

By the way, can it be set that only the user can access those 'spam' messages?

:cool:

I'm not the guy to help you; I don't allow per-user spam-assassin.

Perhaps someone else can help.

:cool: mbox is just how the emails are saved. All your email accounts in /var/spool/mail and /var/spool/virtual/domain.com are all saved using the mbox format.

If the spam is dumped into /home/username/spam ($home/spam) then yes, he'd be the only one.
