Hi,

Is there a way for a user to report an email as SPAM?

Gerald
 
Not sure I understand the request - to whom should a user report SPAM?
* the administrator?
* to the spamassassin maintainers?

If you mean some sort of box for getting spam to train a bayes-filter - no this is not implemented - because our tests showed that it does not improve detection by much (and that if done wrong it really is making everything worse)

some users in our forum have a setup where they learn from an IMAP mailbox - just use the search function

If you mean something else - please explain in a bit more detail

I hope this helps!
 
Yup, getting some sort of box to train the bayes filter. Years of using EFA (Email Filter Appliance) shows the opposite of your results for us, the bayes filter was able to block SPAM better when users reported email as SPAM. (EFA adds a link at the bottom of the email to report as SPAM.)
