Re: [vps-mail] Editable .procmailrc or blacklist

[tim <email@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Blarneystone,

Does your client has ftp access to his own home drive? If so he can
easily upload a .procmailrc that will only affect his own email. This
way there is not really any security issue at all.
I would only suggest that the first few lines in the rc file are to
create a backup of all email processed until he/you are confident the
email is properly processed and not lost along the way.

but yes you can get spamassassin to score on specific items in the
subject list. you may have to create new rules, and have these rules
score very high for it to be tagged as spam.
You can have a look at some custom rule sets here
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/CustomRulesets

all the best,
tim.
