Re: [AMaViS-user] Question about Amavisd-New and spam delivery/quarantining...

Glenn,

> doing the

Wrong, it only controls sending DSN (delivery status notifications,
sent to the sender).

=46rom amavisd.conf-sample:

# D_PASS mail will pass to recipients, regardless of bad contents;
#
# D_DISCARD mail will not be delivered to its recipients, sender will NOT =
be
# notified. Effectively we lose mail (but will be quarantined
# unless disabled). Losing mail is not decent for a mailer,
# but might be desired.
#
# D_BOUNCE mail will not be delivered to its recipients, a non-delivery
# notification (bounce) will be sent to the sender by amavisd-ne=
w;
# Exception: bounce (DSN) will not be sent if a virus name match=
es
# @viruses_that_fake_sender_maps, or to messages from mailing li=
sts
# (Precedence: bulk|list|junk), or for spam level that exceeds
# the $sa_dsn_cutoff_level.
#
# D_REJECT mail will not be delivered to its recipients, sender should
# preferably get a reject, e.g. SMTP permanent reject response
# (e.g. with milter), or non-delivery notification from MTA
# (e.g. Postfix). If this is not possible (e.g. different recipi=
ents
# have different tolerances to bad mail contents and not using L=
MTP)
# amavisd-new sends a bounce by itself (same as D_BOUNCE).
# Not to be used with Postfix or dual-MTA setups!

> $final_spam_destiny =3D D_PASS; # subject to $sa_dsn_cutoff_level

You changed the value, but not the comment, which makes it confusing.

The original line from amavisd.conf-default is:

$final_spam_destiny =3D D_BOUNCE; # subject to $sa_dsn_cutoff_level

the comment is trying to convey that sending of DSN
is subject to $sa_dsn_cutoff_level

(i.e. spam level above $sa_dsn_cutoff_level
turns D_BOUNCE into a D_DISCARD)

> If it's delivered, how do I make it so it *only* goes
> in the quarantine

Spam above kill_level goes to quarantine, regardless of
whether you also force it to be delivered (by D_PASS or spam_lovers).
Again, there is a top limit to quarantining: $sa_quarantine_cutoff_level
