SpamAssassin User Prefs + simscan

[joseph]

All,

Recently I moved from mail-toaster 3.x to 4.x, on a completely new machine. It's working great so far, but I'm having some issues with Spamassassin that I can't seem to resolve. Note, I switched from qmail-scanner to simscan.

I've configured SA with SQL support, and that seems to be working as intended.

With 3.x and qmail-scanner, e-mail received for an alias would be spam checked with the destination user accounts's spam settings.

With 4.x and simscan, e-mail received for an alias is being checked with the global spam settings, not the user's spam settings (afterwards it's being delivered properly). E-mail sent directly to a user will use their SQL defined userprefs.  This is causing some issues for people with multiple aliases and postmaster catchall accounts, who normally have very restrictive userprefs.

Is this a limitiation of simscan at this point in time? Am I looking in the wrong direction? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

One more note, for the initial build "filtering_spamassassin_method" was set to "site". I recently changed it to "user", ran toaster_setup -s spamassassin again, then rebooted. I'm hoping that's all I needed to do to bring that particular change live.

I'd try add the alias db entry to your MySQL userprefs table.

real user is gill@test.com.
alias is gill@mytest.com

Did you give this type of set-up a go?
