How to directly delete SPAM tagged messages?

Many, if not all, of my users have enough of spam.

Spam assassin does recognise most of incoming spam but honestly why having your mailbox full of SPAM tags when you see that 100% of them are positive and there are no false ones?

So, how can I modify qmail-scanner rules or SpamAssassin settings in order to have SPAM tagged messages directly deleted by the system?

i.e. just as with ClamAV.


Thanks, pg

its a setting in the qmail-scanner-queue.pl file, sa_delete I believe the variable is called. Thats the value relative to the required_hits value for the account to delete at. So for example, if you set required_hits to 5 (the default) and sa_delete to 2, spam scoring 7 and above would be deleted.
