[courier-users] spam filtering with aliases

setup is courier 0.47 with spamassasin and bayes learning.

Based on reading docs i think i understand that aliases (ones created by
'makealiases') can not be trained with the bayesian learning. For
instance a mailbox is setup foobar@foodomain.com and an alias is setup
called aliasname@foodomain.com that forwards to foobar@foodomain.com.
It seems that email messages comes in for the alias and gets checked for
spam according to spamassasin default settings then gets delivered into
foobars folder...without using the filtering settings that were
user-modified for foobar.

whereas I would prefer to be able to have the alias utilize the
spamassasin and bayesian settings for foobar.

should I not be using aliases if I want effective spam filtering and
just use mailboxes and configure the .courier file if I just want it to
forward?

thanks for tips...

charles
