Hello...

I don't find a way to determine Spam Assassin to globally (server settings) delete spam mail. Isn't that possible?

Only "Modify spam mail subject" seems to be available.

Not that I know of

If you're using MailScanner with SpamAssassin, you can do it. I don't know of a way to do it with just SpamAssassin (although, I won't say there isn't one!).

The relevant entries in /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf (sorry, yours may be elsewhere) are:
Spam Actions =
High Scoring Spam Actions =

You will want to change at least one of these to 'delete' or 'store delete', if you want to play it safe. Spam Actions will likely be 'deliver header "X-Spam-Status: Yes"' or something similar. There are lots of other options, and they are listed below these lines in the comments.


If you want to play around with the scoring, use the following:

Required SpamAssassin Score =
High SpamAssassin Score =

Also, remember to reload MailScanner when you change this file, so the changes will take effect.

ART has some rpms you can use to accomplish this. It's what I use on my servers without any problems, and you can set it up so that the individual users still have some control. Control over everything except the global Delete If Over setting.

Look in Scott's forum there and you'll see some different solutions. Personally I use a combination of clamd (virus protection), razor-agents, pyzor, qmail-scanner and spam assassin, with SA_DELETE enabled.

You can try this
