[Rspamd-Users] RSpamD Basics

Hello,

I have been using a combination of Postfix, Amavisd and *ASSP *for 
around 8 years with around 500 mailboxes. For a very long time ASSP 
served me well, but recently it has become very unstable. The filter 
performance is no longer as impressive.

Now I have installed RSpamD with Postfix, Dovecot, ClamAV, Spamassassin, 
Sieve, Redis on a new server (Debian12), which is supposed to take over 
the work of ASSP, and am learning to understand and learn the system.

So far the setup is going pretty well, but I'm missing a few not 
unimportant things:

Integration of virus scanners and feedback/information to the recipient.
Via Amavisd I had the opportunity to create feedback when viruses were 
received, e.g.

"You have just received an email from xxx that contains a virus. The 
email has been quarantined (No.: E56729B)" etc...

If necessary, as an admin I could then check what was going on with the 
email and, after checking it, provide further information to the 
customer or even save the email.

With RSpamD I haven't yet found a way to get information from the virus 
scanner back to RSpamD. Which would be nice for spoofing and phishing 
tests (clamav unofficial sigs...) etc. So the Rewrite Subject refined 
with: ***SPAM***, ***SPOOFING***, ***PHISHING***, ***VIRUS detected***. 
I don't think it's a good idea to simply reject a virus, but rather just 
put it aside and report back.

In addition to the numerous install pages on the web, is there a page 
that goes beyond the standards and describes such details better. The 
RspamD docs are not always very informative.

Or is there a /etc/rspamd folder with example configs?

Thank you very much for help and tips

Christian
