I've used Spamhalter for a bit with Pegasus Mail, but never with my Mercury/32 system. I can't find a description of what it actually does.[/quote]It just adds a header to spam mails that you can set up a filter (in Mercury or the client) to perform what action you want, typically moving to a SPAM user for review/deletion.[quote]I believe that it probably sends the passes to the intended recipient and the fails to a special mail account that I create. Then my mail users can forward wrong passes to a second account (to train the database).[/quote]I have 3 accounts setup, CRAP for Spamhalter hits to be
filtered into via a global filter rule, SPAM for sending missed mails
to as corrections & NOSPAM for sending False Positives to as
corrections.[quote] Fails can be forwarded back to the intended user (if I can tell which user that was, because not all mail has the recipient in the header as opposed to the envelope).[/quote]That can be an issue if you get a lot of newsletters etc. I generally use the smtp log & timestamp info to pin down the offending ones[quote]
As I don't have a large collection of spam to hand to train the system, I'd also like to copy my words4.db3 database from Pegasus Mail and use it with Mercury.[/quote]Never tried but should be possible, AFAIK they are the same[quote]
Can I find documentation to help with all this, and can I do the forwarding in the way I have suggested?[/quote]The doc is installed with spamhalter or at ararat.cz (from memory) also quite a few posts on the forum.
