Preventing spam autodeletion

[tenth_man]

Hi,

I have read in this wiki article: Improving Anti-spam system - Zimbra :: Wiki
That if a spamassasin score is high enough, the message in question is automatically deleted.

I tested this by sending the GTUBE spam test message to this server, and as expected it did not arrive.

I am hoping to find a way to prevent this auto deletion - I just want spam to go into the junk mail folder.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Why do you want to do that?

[tenth_man]

Because if high scoring spam messages never make it into the junk folder then my users will not be able to see if there are any false positives there!

I know that it is not important that the GTUBE gets through, but I don't like the idea of messages with high spam ratings just being discarded without the chance for any user decision making!

The probability of a rejected spam mail being a false positive (unless you've changed the Kill precentage) is almost non-existent, the false positives would be the ones tagged a spam and in the users Junk folder.

I've had a similar desire to not block any message (and not just
reduce the probability to "almost" zero).
One thread from some years ago gave one idea to edit
/opt/zimbra/conf/amavisd.conf.in and comment out
$sa_kill_level_deflt
$sa_dsn_cutoff_level
$sa_quarantine_cutoff_level

see
[SOLVED] How to turn off "Kill Percent" for spam filtering?

Another suggestion made elsewhere but not tested by me was to set
$final_spam_destiny=D_PASS

I also seek a recommendation for best action (or gui option) to totally remove the theoretical potential of a dropped message, ie to quarantine only.

thanks,
John
