All spam indicated mail of our domain goes to one folder.
after manually deleting all real spam I want to send the
false positives to the original recipients.
How can i do this (maybe from the command line) ?
thanks for your help !
In most cases you can't, because by then the original envelope recipient
information is lost. *If* your MTA preserves it (in a Delivered-To: or
X-Envelope-To: or X-Original-To: header, for some examples),
I am using sendmail 8.12.4, procmail 3.22 on solaris 8.
Is it possible to configure sendmail in that way that this information is to be
stored ?
then you
can try something like this:
#!/bin/sh
lockfile spamfolder.lock
mv spamfolder workfolder
rm -f spamfolder.lock
formail -A "X-Loop: false positive, not spam" \
-s falsepositive < workfolder
# after completion, workfolder must be rm'ed by hand
where falsepositive is an executable containing something like this:
#!/usr/local/bin/procmail
:0
* ^(Delivered|X-Envelope|X-Original)-To:\/.+
! $MATCH
You haven't told us enough for me to know whether, once a message gets
to that point, any loop detection is needed. (That is, does remailing
the message send it back through the same spam tests that mistook it for
spam the first time?)
sorry for that failure. No, mails will be sent after twaeking the filters so
that the mails shouldn't be trapped again.
If it is, you'll have to do something with the
routines that put a message into the spamfolder in the first place so
that they will trust a message that is already marked with the above
X-Loop: header.
But again, the general answer is that it can't be done.
