Hi all, As each day goes by it seems like spamassasin is not catching near the spam it used to. I'm seeing 40 to 50 every few hours get past spamassasin, whereas when I first installed the server I would go a day or so without seeing more than 3-4 spam emails. This not include the ones that get tagged as ***SPAM***. The only thing I've done is turn on the Mailscan function due to the fact it was screwing with attachments. Does this function also play a role in catching spam? I thought it was mainly for catching viruses. Thanks, ken
Are you using ISPConfig? Then have a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4000&highlight=mailscan+javascript
Thanks Falko, that does clear up MailScan. Any suggestions on how to reduce the spam again like it used to be? Thanks, Ken
Hi all, fobicodam; its currently set to 5.0 which was working until a month or so ago. till; I have the debian-sarge 3.1 setup, so I'm assuming it is, however, let me know what to check and I'll report back. sjau; not sure, how do I check? if I try to execute the sa-update, this is the error message I get; Code: Can't locate Archive/Tar.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/share/perl/5.8.4 /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.4 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.4 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) at ./sa-update line 81. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./sa-update line 81. I'm not sure how relevant that is, but maybe it'll help. Also I checked some messages headers of spam that was making it through and here are the headers; Code: Return-Path: <[email protected]> X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.1.3 (2006-06-01) on server1.helpconsulting.net X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=0.0 required=5.0 tests=ADVANCE_FEE_1 autolearn=unavailable version=3.1.3 X-Original-To: xxxxxxxxxxxxx Delivered-To: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Received: from 142-180-99-82.bluetone.cz (142-180-99-82.bluetone.cz [82.99.180.142]) by server1.helpconsulting.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id C98E46B0006 for <[email protected]>; Tue, 7 Nov 2006 12:12:51 -0500 (EST) Received: from 213.186.33.74 (HELO mx4.ovh.net) by helpconsulting.net with esmtp (YY4PLLNUBNSJ 21470) id NE0MUP-1NOWP2-2D for [email protected]; Tue, 7 Nov 2006 17:12:53 -0060 From: "Jean Velasquez" <[email protected]> To: <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Jean here :) Date: Tue, 7 Nov 2006 17:12:53 -0060 Message-ID: <01c7028f$f6501210$6c822ecf@deborahtrapani> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1250" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Office Outlook, Build 11.0.5510 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4963.1700 Thread-Index: Aca6QKJ0H6HI07XZKRC4YSHMX9N1I5== X-Antivirus: avast!
