It is possible to set SpamAssassin up so that users can control their own spam filters. This does require a reasonable amount of coding to get it to work.
I believe that Steve Phillips was working on something like this a while ago. Getting something like that working in conjunction with RBL queries on a per-user level would be great for allowing the customers more control over their mailbox.
This isn't really feasible since the whole point of the RBL is that you dump the session before it sends anything so you don't know who its for.
Funny I could have sworn that is what ihug's been doing for the last year or so. Of course it means you accept the message and don't save the bandwidth (as such) but the bandwidth overhead for spam isn't huge. Spamassassin has RBLs (plus DCC, Razor, Bayes and other buzzwords) built in so you can use it to tag/block according to them on a per-user basis. I was thinking about doing a talk about this at nznog this year if enough peoiple are interested. -- Simon Lyall. | Newsmaster | Work: simon.lyall(a)ihug.co.nz Senior Network/System Admin | Postmaster | Home: simon(a)darkmere.gen.nz Ihug Ltd, Auckland, NZ | Asst Doorman | Web: http://www.darkmere.gen.nz
