Hoping someone can offer a suggestion.
I run a mail forwarding system on a website that is being hosted on a
Linux box owned by a friendly but busy grad student with the right
monthly price (free). My problem is the spammers have discovered our
domain, and my users are now getting more and more spam forwarded to
them via this setup, and I'd like to hook up SpamAssassin to filter out
as much UCE as possible.
First complication: I do not have permission to edit the exim.conf
files, so I can't implement SA via the suggested methods (see
http://dman.ddts.net/~dman/config_docs/exim4_spamassassin.html). I've
asked the grad student if he would do this, but he's deep into writing
a thesis right now and I don't hold out much hope.
Second complication: I've tried as many ways that I can think of to
pipe the received e-mail through procmail and deal with things in that
method. However, none of my users have an account on our webhost, so I
can't set up user specific procmail recipes, and if I try to set up a
general procmail recipe, the fact that Exim is set up with user=nobody
and group=nobody means procmail doesn't trust the recipe owned by my
username.
Can anyone offer some suggestions to try?
Thanks
