Setting up a user/mailbox on the mail server would probably work. You could bounce the spam email from your client box to the mail server. And then, probably easier than have a perl script parse the Subject line, just run a cron job to pipe the email to bogofilter and delete it when finished. What I have done instead though, and it seems to be working, is add the following to my .muttrc as a macro: macro index X "<enter-command>unset wait_key\n<pipe-entry>ssh -f \ my.mailserver.com bogofilter -S -d /home/kevin/.bogofilter \n \ <enter-command>set wait_key\n<delete-message>" macro pager X "<enter-command>unset wait_key\n<pipe-entry>ssh -f \ my.mailserver.com bogofilter -S -d /home/kevin/.bogofilter \n \ <enter-command>set wait_key\n<delete-message>" [macros courtesy of a user on the bogofilter mail list] Obviously this is MUA specific. While this macro sends spam feedback back to bogofilter so that it can get better at detecting spam, it is not sending bogofilter 'good, non-spam' email to help build the goodlist.db. Of course I could do this with more Mutt macros attached to my saves, replies, etc, but then I'd be teaching bogofilter about MY good email. Yet bogofilter is running on a LAN filtering email for all of the users in the LAN, not just me. I'm not sure how critical it is to teach bogofilter about good mail on a continual basis. Spam is spam, so having only me as the spam teacher for bogofilter will probably serve all the LAN users o.k. But good, non-spam email is user specific, so I would think bogofilter would want contributions from everyone. Perhaps I'm trying to use bogofilter in a way for which it was not designed. We'll see how it works in this setup. More later. Kevin -- Kevin Coyner mailto: kevin@rustybear.com GnuPG key: 1024D/8CE11941
