Re: [vps-mail] Bayes filter

[Jim Smith <maillists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Scott,
Thanks for the reply but here's what I'm up against. I have a black list 
going to null. If someone on my whitelist sends me an email with 
obcenities, I don't want it trashed without checking it first.

So the sequence is-
whitemail goes directly to inbox without any filtering.
Then blackmail directly to trash.
Then SA filters remainder to saspam as likely spam.
Then all else is 'hopefully' legit and goes to inbox.

Questions -
If I use SA for  black lists doesn't that take a lot of cpu's compared 
to procmail? I think I recall that being an issue a while back. I have a 
couple-hundred blackmail entries.

Secondly, can I send the black listed items to null rather than mixing 
them in with the stuff in the spam folder?

Thanks,

Jim
