Postfix Spam Filter using Ubuntu Dapper, MailScanner, SpamAssassin, Razor, Pyzor, DCC

Hi, I have been following the above mentioned howto (link) and - although I did not need a few things - have the the setup running now.
The only problem is that I cannot get MailScanner to deliver spam-Emails to local accounts. They are simply not passed on. I can - however - have them quarantined.
I want to deliver the emails to local accounts, as I want to filter them out by using courier-maildrop (I do not want to delete message, but store them in the user specific spam-folder) and have users access the emails via Courier-Imap.

Any ides how I can get this running? What information would you nees to help me.

What's in your mail log when this happens?

 

Never mind ... hat a stupid typo in the MailScanner.conf

 

Dear Sir

I have setup my server
Mailscanner and spamassasin works, since spam messenges get the
[spam?] header.

But I am unable to get the program to put mail messenges with the [spam?] in my junk folder, they all end up in my inbox.

I have followed your tourturial, and I cannon get the program to do what it's told

I have even tryed to use, maildroprc.

root@Locutus:/etc# cat /etc/maildroprc
# Global maildrop filter file

# Uncomment this line to make maildrop default to ~/Maildir for
# delivery- this is where courier-imap (amongst others) will look.
DEFAULT="$HOME/Maildir"
if (/^X-Spam-Flag: *YES/)
{
exception {
to "$HOME/$DEFAULT/.Junk/"
}
}
else
{
exception {
to "$HOME/$DEFAULT"
}
}root@Locutus:/etc#

Any suggestions would be helpfull

Regards

Here's what I have in my /etc/maildroprc , it might be useful for you. watch the logfile for errors. fyi, it doesn't check if a Junk folder exists, because i have another script that creates the Junk folder each time a new mailbox is created. and spamassassin uses the "s" letter to designate the spam score.

logfile "/var/log/maildroprc.log"
JUNK=$DEFAULT/.Junk
log "Maildir home: $HOME"
log "Username: $LOGNAME"
log "Mailbox: $DEFAULT"
log "Junk folder: $JUNK"
# if more than 5 s letters dump it in the junk folder
if (/.*SpamScore: sssss*/)
{
log "**JUNK**"
to "$JUNK"
}
else
{
to "$DEFAULT"
}

 

just a quick question...
I'm using this setup as a spamfilter before my Exchange Server.
How do I set MailScanner/Spamassassin to forward quarantined spam to a specific Exchange user, i.e. [email protected].
I've looked through the config files for MailScanner and Spamassassin, but I don't see anything that looks like it would handle this.

 

thanks for looking at this, but i found the setting in the MailScanner config under the "What to do with Spam" heading... duh!

 

hi again!

i follow this tutorial
http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier_ubuntu_edgy

Everything work perfect but when the email client program(outlook or Thunderbird) try to log on in the mail server it couldn't.I create 2-3 account and i tried all the couriers (imam,pop3,pop3s) but the same problem appears.

As i far i can understand seems that the problem coming from Saslauthd.
In the configuration files when i see mail_admin_password i reaplesed it with
the passwd for mail_admin user of mysql,i think this is correct

any ideas??

Thanks in advance

 

finally it works!!!!!

Its a little be tricky if you have to do with dynamic dns like dyndns.org
Another think is that i finally used pop3s for my courier but the Thunderbird has the same problem ,it cannot log in
With outlook 2003 everything works perfect!!!!

 

Any errors in mail.log and auth.log?

 

It works!!! , i create a test account and its ok now
i don't now what happen..

Probably it was my problem!!!the only thing is that each time thunderbird it ask me to accept the certificate
