best way to create DBs

[Alessandro de Manzano]

Hello,

I'm quite new to Bogofilter, I'm very interested in deploying it at my
company.

I read docs and FAQs but I've still an unanswered question, so I try to
post it here ;)

My mail server's setup is quite common, a public-IP FreeBSD 4.9 machine
running Postfix as MTA and qpopper as POP3. Behind it a bunch of users
poll it with a wide range of MUA (OE5, OE6, Eudora, PMMail, Netscape
Mail, etc. etc. etc.) from everywhere on the Net. I'm already running
some anti-spam measures like few regexp, some DNS-RBL,
remove-exec-attachments using Postfix features.

My problem is that with this setup I don't know (I can't ?) create a
"good database" since I've not really a true message base since all
mail is only in transit on my server (good and bad mixed, since some
spam bypass static filters).
If I had , like my home setup, a bunch of mailboxes (standard UNIX
mailbox read with Mutt or similar) I could create the "good" and "bad"
messages database Bogofilter needs.

Since I guess my office setup is quite common I'ld ask you how do you
solved this problem ?

I also tought about making a copy of _every_mail my Postfix sees
(always_bcc  keyword) but this IMHO is not a solution since also SPAM
would be copied...


Someone could , please, enlight me ?
What am I missing ? :)


Many thanks in advance!!
