What is the difference of using builtin rulesets from gui or spamassian rules custom /etc/mail/spamassassin/custom.cf ? Performance / usage / easy to manage?
Rulesets or spamassian rules?
- Thread starter ozgurerdogan
- Start date
They simply do different things..
* With a rule you can decide what happens exactly with the mail - based on the Action you select
* With a custom spamassassin configuration you can increase or decrease the Spam Score of a mail (by creating appropriate rules) - which you need to use in the rulesystem to do something with mails matching this score
I hope this explains it
Thank you but I can also block mails with SA rules. So should I use actions for sure actions like blocking, and use SA rules for small header score adds. ?
Also, should I think of adding additional SA channels / custom rules ? Or actions frum gui is all ok for.?

What config would you use for this?
Depends on what you gain form using SA rules - one upside of using the rule-system is that it's available in the GUI - and can be comfortably edited there...
You can add other SA channels (which ones would you have in mind - as we're always curious if there is something out there which would make spamdetection better for everyone - but apart from the KAM ruleset (which is included) nothing is known that really helps)

I can set high scores in sa rules and let pmg mark it as spam or even block mail.
I wanted add spamassassin.heinlein-support.de channel (not sure if it good idea yet, here it was mentioned, you can also share your ideas about it) but I could not. Because I could not find its instructions like Kam ruleset as mentioned here.
But if I want a channel that I like to add, I think I will not be able to as it must be added with method above?

but that is what I mean - you need to use the rule-system to do something with a mail - this is nothing you can do in SpamAssassin
