handling spam

Hello,

I have difficulties configuring the mail reception the way I want it to be (Suse 10.1 and ISPconfig 2.2.14).

I'd like the mail to be virus/spamchecked when recieved (that does already work) and then sorted into a 'junk' mail folder in the recipients' mail account.
As far as I have read from other posts and howtos, one could alter the spamassassin.rc in the /root/ispconfig/isp/conf/customized_templates folder.
I have seen that the lines
# All mail tagged as spam (eg. with a score higher than the set threshold)
# is moved to "/dev/null".
#:0:
#* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
#/dev/null

are responsible for deleting mails marked as spam (or in this case: to accept it, for the lines are commented out)
I assume it would be possible to replace the /dev/null line by something else; but what would this be? For it's a general rule, there needs to be a variable that puts in the correct mail account name. How can I achieve that?
And would it be an appropriate solution of my problem to solve it that way?

Thank you,
regards,
Tom

 

Hello Till,

thank you for your reply!
I had expected it to be more... complex... ;-)
I have not tried it though, but I will do so today.

Yet I have another small question about it: if it works the way you describe it, will the junk folder be created automatically if it does not exist?

Thank you,
regards, Tom

 

I'm not sure right now. I think the best is to try it.
