I have plesk 10.4.4 setup with spamassassin. Some of my users are getting a lot of spam, and we are attempting to train spamassassin better, however I'm not sure the best way to go about this.
From reading on here it seems that the best way to train spam is to move all emails that are spam into the spam folder in webmail. And then a cron job happens daily that will train spamassassin to consider these emails spam.
how much training does it take for spamassassin to learn? Meaning one of my users have moved hundreds of emails into the spam folder. and its been weeks, but the level of spam the user receives does not seem to diminish. They still receive ~50+ a day.
Also, does changing from qmail to postfix change anything with spamassassin? I didn't use to receive any spam, guess my training went well. However now that I changed to postfix from qmail because of the ipv6 issues i started receiving spam. only about 4 in the past 3 days. So its not like a floodgate opened for spam, was just wondering if there was anything linking this.
Lastly, is there any way to train spamassassin without having to use the webmail client, or imap? All my clients use pop email, so accessing the spam folder isn't possible. Do I just need to force them to use the webmail, or imap, or is there another way?
Thanks
