Topic: Ideal anti-spam setup

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====

- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Ubuntu 16.04
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): MySQL

- [IMPORTANT] Related original log or error message is required if you're experiencing an issue.
====

Hi all

I'm very new to iRedMail, but are so far very impressed with how easy the setup is - so big thanks for that!

I decided to try out iRedMail in order to have full power of my mail, but more importantly over my spam setup, but I'm struggling a bit with this part, so hopefully someone can guide me in the right direction.

My wishes:

1) Obvious spam should be deleted

2) Potential spam should be moved to Junk folder (is this the guide to follow: https://docs.iredmail.org/move.detected … lder.html)

3) Users should be able to mark spam for future reference (is this the guide to follow: https://docs.iredmail.org/store.spamass … .sql.html)

4) Nice-2-have: Individual spam tress hold for each user (SpamAssassin values)

Hope someone will be kind enough to guide me a bit, and perhaps share experiences and setups?

This is easy with our iRedAdmin-Pro admin panel, but if you don't want to purchase it, it's fine with the sql command line tool.

yes.

I followed the guide, but even it is a fresh installation of iRedMail this setting already seemed to be added? - is it default in latest version?

yes.

I tried to follow the guide, but when updating the database I get this error: 

mysql> USE sa_bayes;
Database changed
mysql> SOURCE /root/bayes_mysql.sql;

Any good ideas?

So my idea is that obvious mail should just be deleted, but potential (when in doubt) spam should be moved to the junk folder. I assume the last part is in place now, but what about the first part - deleting obvious spam?

Are these the parameters to "play" with in /etc/amavis/conf.d/50-user

$sa_tag_level_deflt  = 2.0;  # add spam info headers if at, or above that level
$sa_tag2_level_deflt = 6.2;  # add 'spam detected' headers at that level
$sa_kill_level_deflt = 6.9;  # triggers spam evasive actions (e.g. blocks mail)
$sa_dsn_cutoff_level = 10;   # spam level beyond which a DSN is not sent
$sa_crediblefrom_dsn_cutoff_level = 18; # likewise, but for a likely valid From
#$sa_quarantine_cutoff_level = 25; # spam level beyond which quarantine is off

And thanks for the link regarding the fourth idea - I think I will start working on that when everything else is in place smile

Solved - I replaced TYPE=MyISAM with ENGINE=MyISAM and it all seemed to be working smile
For others who might have a look at this post, the guide https://docs.iredmail.org/store.spamass … n.sql.html could use an update / rewrite for Ubuntu / latest versions ...
