    My manual describes about Spamassassin to run after the installation of ISPConfig:

    /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/spamasssassin

    and tells:

    If errors appear you have to install some Perl modules:, followed by a list how to do that.

    When I enter above mentioned command, the cursor comes onto a new line and no more.

    I think this is ok, there are no errors. Is that right?

    Yes, that's OK. You can return to the prompt by pressing [ctrl] + c

    What about if you run:
    /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/spamasssassin

    And you get the error:
    bash: /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/spamasssassin: No such file or directory

    ?

    Please execute:

    ls -la /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/

    Nevermind LOL I see the axtra s in spassassin...My spam assassin is not working however. Anything I can try? When I try the line mentioned (dropping the extra 's') I do get the blank line and need to Ctrl+C to get out.

    One more hint

    Sometimes Spamassassin is not running after you started your server because in the file /etc/default/spamassassin there is a line like:

    ENABLED=0

    To enable Spamassassin after a reboot you have to change this line into:

    ENABLED=1

    You can try this, maybe it helps you one step further...

    :rolleyes:

    That's the normal behaviour - spamassassin is waiting for input (e.g. a mail message). Normally you pipe email messages through it.

    /etc/default/spamassassin does not exist, howver the spamd daemon is running, and I can also execute spamassissin and spamc.

    Anything else I can look for?

    Have a look at the directories in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin.

    What should I be looking for here? All looks well. It just appears as though postfix is not piping the mail through spamassassin.

    You have to make sure that you have the Spamfilter option checked under ISP Manger -> Website -> User & Email -> User -> Spamfilter & Antivirus.

    Please go to the home directory of a user where you have spamassassin enabled and execute:

    ls -la

    and post the output here.

    What's in .procmailrc, .spamassassin.rc, and .user_prefs?

    Is this the correct home directory of the user?

    /var/www/web1/user/web1_/

    It looks like your use has no username, only the web prefix.

    Yes, this is the correct user. I didn't specify a user name. I use this account to receive mail for email addresses such as sales@... support@... etc. and forward on to the appropriate individuals. (Like a DL). The account still receives mail and forwards it appropriately, does it require a username in order to work? I assumed not.

    It's a bit unusual, but should work.
    What's the output of
    Code:
    ls -la /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/spamassassin
    ?
    What's the output of
    Code:
    /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/spamassassin -V
    ?

    ls -la /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/spamassassin

    /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/spamassassin -V

    Code:
