Spam Report Costumization

[Timefuser]

Hi All!

I am new to PMG and want to ask if there is any possibilty to change the HTML Code, or at least the language of the Daily Spam Reports?

As a suggestion I would also like to be able to define the hours of the day my users get the Spam Report.

Thank you!

Max

You can create a new template, I suggest you copy an existing one and then you do the changes.

Login to the CLI and copy an existing template:

cp /var/lib/pmg/templates/spamreport-verbose.tt /var/lib/pmg/templates/spamreport-custom.tt

Now you can do your changes in spamreport-custom.tt. If you want to activate this template, just select "custom" on "Configuration/Spam Detector/Quartantine: Report Style: Custom"

For testing, just send a report with:

pmgqm send --receiver email@yourdomain.com

(This will send a report, but only if there are item in the quarantine)

cool. is it possible to access the lifetime value in the spam-report template?
so i can tell the users when their quarantined emails will be automatically purged.

At the end of the day i have the same question...
Is there any documentation about the available variables

Can this custom template be placed in : /etc/pmg/templates ? (in ord er to be sync with other node ) ?

Yes this should work!

Hi,

May I also know where to change when the report will send out? Thanks.

Hi,

I also really want to know the available variables (such as lifetime), and when the report is sent (by default at 0.00 but I want to disable that and use my own cron job to send it using the parameter "-timespan week").

Best regards,

Jacco

What is the relationship between:
/var/lib/pmg/templates & /etc/pmg/templates

I thought it might be a symbolic link, however when I edit a file in /etc/pmg/templates, it remains unchanged in /var/lib/pmg/templates

 

[Stoiko Ivanov]

The relationship is that both directories are used by the templateing engine in PMG (template-toolkit) as search-paths for templates to render (/etc/pmg/templates has precedence over /var/lib/pmg/templates).

On a fresh PMG installation '/etc/pmg/templates' does not exist - it needs to be created manually should you wish to customize the templates.

I hope this helps!

Very helpful!

So, to be clear, it's probably a bad idea to execute cp -p /var/lib/pmg/templates/* /etc/pmg/templates/, I would be better served by making copies of the templates I want to edit.

What do you think?

Definitely a better approach. The point is that there is no automatic diffing and notification should PMG ship an updated template (which at least in the past 1.5 years happend very seldomly) - so once you copy a template you should compare it against the packaged version on upgrades (should we ship an updated template we'll state this in the changelog). So it has an advantage to only copy what you actually adapt.
