I was wondering if anyone knows of a module for Apache that lets the user
decide what users want to mark as spam? The user could turn on or off
any of the rule catagories, and also decide if spam is marked or sent
directly
to the trash can if it has too high of a score. The webapp would update
the
user's profile in his home directory.

(I posted this a few days ago, but the list had just been created so I
hope you
will forgive the repost. But I wanted the larger audience to read this.)

Thank You,
Bob

Horde <http://www.horde.org/> has a SpamAsassin module called 'sam' that can
do just this, althought I believe you need the development vrsion of Horde
to do this. FWIW, it also does SQL-based preferences.

It currently has no website (would be <http://www.horde.org/sam/>), but if
you log in to their FTP server, you should be able to find it in there.

If you're using webmin, there's a webmin module for SA. However, AFAIK it's
fairly "alpha grade" and may not be production-ready for end-users.

I just stumbled across this:

http://www.renaissoft.com/projects/maia/

No idea how well it works though, but it certainly claims to do it
all.

We use Usermin - cousin to webmin - as a web based email interface.
It includes a SA module that does almost everything on your list.
There currently is no way option to set test scores in the user_prefs

I installed usermin and tested it. It looks good and is *very*
configurable. However,
the SA module is a bit complicated. However, it is powerful, of that
there is no doubt.
One of the things I want to do is to allow the user to decide if the
spam gets marked
as [SPAM] in the subject line, or it just goes to the trash bin. For
them to make that
decision, they have to have access to procmail. Because the "setup
procmail for
SpamAssassin" only stays up there one time, then you have to grant
access to "procmail
setup", let them delete the procmail rules, then they go back to "setup
procmail for
SpamAssassin" and redo that setup.

Again, usermin is powerful, and can accomplish the task, but I was
hoping for something
even simpler for the users to use. If the "setup procmail for
SpamAssassin" stayed up
there all of the time and the could switch from trash to modify subject
line at will, that is
all they really need.

Thank You very much for the input, it is not off the table, but I am
still hoping for
something simpler.

I am definately hoping to see that list.

Thank You,

* usermin/webmin
* SpamAssassin plugin for Squirrelmail
* The package included with the SpamAssassin source

Hrm. You know, I thought that there were a few more, but I guess that I
goofed.

My bad. :(

I'm pretty sure we have a winner with Squirrelmail. The configuration
is easier than
the usermin option. It gives the user very simple choices to make and
doesn't
confuse them with all of the possible options of SpamAssassin.

Thank You,
Bob Byron
