Drop email to specific addresses above required_hits spam score

Asked by sutech08 in Spam Assassin, SendMail Email Server

Tags: drop, mail, spamassassin

I would like to drop any email going to specific addresses that is above our required_hits score.  Currently we use a linux box for our mail gateway which does anti-virus/spam scanning then sends them to an Exchange server.  We currently have rules on the Outlook clients using Exchange that filter messages based on the X-Spam-Status flag, however we would like to be able to drop them before they get there as these cannot always be setup in some cases.  I know its probably possible using an Exchange rule, but I was hoping there was something on linux(gateway) that could be used to drop them for specific addresses, I was thinking possibly point the alias on the gateway to send to a local linux account, then use procmail filtering and possibly forward from a .forward, the only problem I can see here is the .forward will be processed before the procmail rules.  Just wondering if this is possible through spamassassin or directly through sendmail.Start Free Trial
