 |
|
Hello ..
I have spamassassin installed with qmail, vpopmail and qmail-scanner .. all
scanning and functioning fine ..
except that it seems that spamassassin has just stopped detecting any mail
as spam .. I am running Gentoo Linux, so it seems the setup is different
then the average ..
here is a copy of my /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
| Code: |
# How many hits before a message is considered spam.
required_hits 5.0
# Whether to change the subject of suspected spam
rewrite_subject 1
# Text to prepend to subject if rewrite_subject is used
subject_tag ****SPAM****
# Encapsulate spam in an attachment
report_safe 1
# Use terse version of the spam report
use_terse_report 1
# Enable Bayes auto-learning
auto_learn 1
defang_mime 1
report_header 1
# Enable the Bayes system
use_bayes 1
# Enable Bayes auto-learning
auto_learn 1
# Enable or disable network checks
skip_rbl_checks 0
Mail using languages used in these country codes will not be marked
# as being possibly spam in a foreign language.
ok_languages all
# Mail using locales used in these country codes will not be marked
# as being possibly spam in a foreign language.
ok_locales all
dns_available yes
dcc_add_header 1
use_dcc 1

Please note that I have included many options to try and get this working ..
so some may not be relevant
So .. I have this file as stated above, but syslog was complaining that
/var/qmail/.spamassassin/user_prefs was non existing, so I created it with
the same settings above .. still no change ..
my /etc/conf.d/spamd looks like so
| Code: |
SPAMD_OPTS="-c --configpath=/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf"
|
it was suggested I use the 'configpath' so that atleast I have an idea which
file it is trying to use when scanning ...
But this all still does not work .. I don't ever get anything considered to
be spam (I am happy about that) but its not all true, and it seems more that
spamassassin is screwed somewhere ..
I then create the user_prefs file in my vpopmail user dir
/var/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/user/.spamassassin/user_prefs .. no change..
I also have a .mailfilter file in my /var/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/ directory containing
| Code: |
import EXT
import HOST
import HOME
SPAMBOX=".Spam"
VERBOSE=1
logfile "/var/log/maildrop-filter-log"
SHELL="/bin/sh"
VHOME=`/var/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d $EXT@$HOST`
VDOMHOME=`/var/vpopmail/bin/vdominfo -d $HOST`
VPOP=`cat $VDOMHOME/.qmail-default`
#VPOP="$VHOME/Maildir/"
if ((/^X-Spam-Status:.*YES/))
{
`test -d $VHOME/Maildir/.Spam`
if( $RETURNCODE == 1 )
{
`/usr/bin/maildirmake $VHOME/Maildir/.Spam;chown -R vpopmail.vpopmail $VHOME/Maildir/.Spam`
`echo "INBOX.Spam" >> $VHOME/Maildir/courierimapsubscribed`
}
to "$VHOME/Maildir/.Spam/"
}
to "$VHOME/Maildir/" |
and then finally my .qmail in /var/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/user contains
| Code: |
| /var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/bin/maildrop /var/vpopmail/domains/mailfilter |
I think that's about it as far as steps I have taken and things I have done
..
anyone have any ideas? |

So, spamassassin was tagging spam and then it stopped?
What happens when you feed something you consider to be spam through spamassasssin directly?
eg:
spamassassin -t < my_saved_spam.email |

no .. thats another issue .. it has never tageed any mail ..
well it seems that spamassassin is now atleat reading the config file i would like it to ..
however .. it does not seem to be catching any spam at all ..
your syntax simply spit the same results as a spamc < the.email would .. similar to below |

just a thought ,, in your config, you say that languages ok are : ALL
doesn that makes spamassassin ignore all languages ? and therefor not catching any spam ?
in my config I have ok languages DK, because well there are no spammers from Denmark.
everything else gets scaned. |

I could be wrong (because I'm still new to qmail) but it looks like your .qmail-default is pointing to a nonexistent file. It's pointing to /var/vpopmail/domains/mailfilter when the actual file is /var/vpopmail/domains/.mailfilter
ie: .qmail-default is looking for "mailfilter" rather than ".mailfilter"

eltech...Unless I'm overlooking something, I don't see anything in any of your configuration file examples that call spamc or spamassassin, so that would explain why your messages aren't getting checked for spam and tagged accordingly.
