如何在PHP中将电子邮件标记为垃圾邮件\\垃圾邮件？

Question

I am developing an email client using PHP. I have got a problem with mark my emails as spam because php library imap doesn't support mark as spam when I mark the emails as a spam. The only things I can see which it can set the emails as flagged which is not a good thing. When I send the spam emails to my server after I set the emails as flagged, I will still get the spam emails in my inbox.

However, I did a quick research and it said that I would need to use spamassassin to set up the rules. I have got spamassassin installed on my server, but I have got no idea how to use it.

Do you know how I could mark my emails as spam using PHP API to set up the rules on spamassassin?

When I set up the rules on spamassassin to mark my emails as spam, will my emails go straight to spam next time when I send the emails?

Thank you.

Automated learning of spam is done, in SA, via a Bayesian classifier. The training tool is sa-learn and you can pipe messages into it through STDIN .

No.

You need to configure your MDA to both:

• Pass emails through SpamAssassin so that it gets spam classification headers added to the existing email headers
• Read those headers and deliver the email to somewhere that isn't the INBOX

For example, my MDU is configured to run incoming mail through Procmail and my ~/.procmailrc includes:

:0
* ^X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
/dev/null

:0:
* ^X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*
$HOME/Maildir/.Junk/
