Trouble with Qmail and X-Spam-Status

Hi all,

I have installed spamassassin on my qmail MTA, and it is able to add
the X-Spam-Status header to the emails it processed.

However, I can't figure it out how to delete the mails with
X-Spam-Status:Yes, before qmail passes them to the Lotus Notes email
server.

Thanks a lot for any help !!

Regards,

Apple

Wonderful.

How did you get SA to process all mail going through your server? Do you
think the same method might be employed to delete mail that comes out of
SA with that header?

I use Qmail-Scanner. In most spamassassin guides on the web, they use
qmail-scanner to call spamd to tag spams and rely on MUA such as
procmail to filter mails based on the headers.

But what I want to do is to block spams before they reach my email
server. Anyone has an idea ?

Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

qmail-scanner-queue.pl is called via the QMAILQUEUE env var generally.
If you want to delete mail that gets tagged, you can have the program
exit abnormally, which will send a 4xx error from the DATA phase, or you
can write a small shell script wrapper around qmail-queue to delete the
message instead of calling the qmail-queue binary.

Have fun,
