Hi Everyone, I followed falko's guide to setting up postfix / mysql etc. on debian, and then followed the guide to add mailfiltering to it. After just a bit of tinkering it mostly worked properly, until i noticed that at some point SpamAssassin had stopped scanning my emails. As best i can figure it was when i added in the mailfiltering portion of the setup. Virus detection is still working, but not Spam. Anybody have any suggestions?
No, the only mention i see of anything related to spam in the log files is when it tagged somthing as spam. It does say this when i start amavisd... It says that among the list of modules.... I checked syslog and mail.log and mail.err, the only error i am seeing is this one: Im not sure what that one means though.. Thanks,
Can you tell me how to find out what version of spamassassin i am running? I did this: Code: /usr/bin/spamassassin -V SpamAssassin version 3.0.3 running on Perl version 5.8.4 But i do not think that is the correct? I did apt-get upgrade spamassassin and it upgraded a lot of stuff, but that version stayed the same Code: apt-get upgrade spamassassin Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following packages will be upgraded: libmysqlclient12 lynx mysql-client mysql-common mysql-server postfix postfix-mysql postfix-tls 8 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. I am seeing this in my headers to my email, but nothing to mention Spam anymore.. Code: X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-new-20030616-p10 (Debian) at localhost
That is the correct way to find out. The packages are not always up to date. If you want the newest version, you must compile it yourself.
nope.. Code: Jun 3 12:46:58 localhost amavis[778]: Module Mail::SpamAssassin 3.001002 Code: /usr/bin/spamassassin -V SpamAssassin version 3.1.2 running on Perl version 5.8.4 Upgrading to the new version doesnt seem to have done the trick, it does not seem to be invoking spamassassin and doing the scanning anymore. Any other suggestions? Everything else is working perfectly!
uhmm.. I do not seem to have an /etc/amavisd.conf file.. i have an /etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf file though.... could that be part of the problem?
nope nope, havent changed that file at all.. ill delete it and re-create it based on the HOW-TO... maybe i inadvertantly edited it... I don't think this has anything to do with it, but if i do an saslauthd restart, it says saslauthd not running, and when it tries to restart it fails... Code: /etc/init.d/saslauthd restart Stopping SASL Authentication Daemon: (not running). Starting SASL Authentication Daemon: (failed) Im not sure if that could have any relevence, i have been playing a lot with my install and when i ran that command it seemed a little odd...
amavisd I redid the conf file amavisd.conf but it still does not appear to be invoking spamassassin...
Is SpamAssassin in this path? Code: $path = '/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin'; Please edit /etc/init.d/saslauthd and change PIDFILE to Code: PIDFILE="/var/spool/postfix/var/run/${NAME}/saslauthd.pid"
... Thanks, that solved the SASL thing, i'm sorry i missed that in the How-To... SpamAssassin is located in /usr/bin, and has the following permissions... Code: /usr/bin# ls -la spamassassin -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 24717 2006-06-03 05:10 spamassassin If i do a whereis spamassassin i get this: Code: whereis spamassassin spamassassin: /usr/src/spamassassin-3.0.3/spamassassin.raw /usr/src/spamassassin-3.0.3/spamassassin.spec /usr/bin/spamassassin /etc/spamassassin /usr/share/spamassassin /usr/share/man/man1/spamassassin.1p.gz
What's in /var/log/mail.warn and /var/log/mail.err? When you restart amavisd, do you see any errors in /var/log/mail.log?

And spam filtering doesn't work at all? Is there nothing in the header of emails you receive that suggests that it went through SpamAssassin?
spam When i first installed it, i got this: Code: X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-new-20030616-p10 (Debian) at localhos X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=4.6 tagged_above=3.0 required=4.0 tests=AWL, HELO_EQ_NO_DOT, HOST_EQ_D_D_D_D, HOST_MISMATCH_NET, HTML_90_100, HTML_MESSAGE, IP_NOT_FRIENDLY, MSGID_FROM_MTA_ID X-Spam-Level: **** X-Spam-Flag: YES Now: Code: X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-new-20030616-p10 (Debian) at localhost and thats it, its like its skipping over SpamAssassin Completely... I must have done somthing wrong somewhere or somthing, i am just at a total loss at the moment..
no idea Everything seemed to be working fine until i added the second how to, to add maildrop capabilities.. thats when spamassassin seems to have stopped working. I think i am just going to completely redo a second box and see what happens. I am at a loss right now, im just not sure what i have done wrong. I find it extremely strange that there are no messages in any long files anywhere, and it seems that no matter what i do or upgrade everything works except spamassassin. I'm not sure, i will try and put together a second box ASAP and see what happens. Thanks for all your help on this, i appreciate it.
