spamd / spamc with ISPc 2.2.21

because spamassassin is eating all resources of server and server load is more the 10. I am thinking to switch to spamd / spamc solution.

what do you think? can it help me? I did read few thread here and looks that it is better solution.

is it better to install distribution spamd/spamc package or to use those from ISPc ??

my idea is to use those from ISPc.

they are here:

Code:

ls -la /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 admispconfig admispconfig  21454 2008-02-27 16:12 sa-compile
-rwxr-xr-x 1 admispconfig admispconfig  42963 2008-02-27 16:12 sa-learn
-rwxr-xr-x 1 admispconfig admispconfig  46290 2008-02-27 16:12 sa-update
-rwxr-xr-x 1 admispconfig admispconfig  27704 2008-02-27 16:12 spamassassin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 admispconfig admispconfig  80507 2008-02-27 16:12 spamc
-rwxr-xr-x 1 admispconfig admispconfig 102502 2008-02-27 16:12 spamd

I am looking into ispconfig/isp/conf/spamassassin.rc.master because I want to change spamassassin to spamc as I did find out this in another thread.

Code:

:0fw
* < 256000
| {SPAMASSASSIN_PATH} --prefs-file={PREFS_FILE}

but you can see that there is variable SPAMASSASSIN_PATH

doing some grep I did find file ispconfig/scripts/lib/classes/ispconfig_procmail.lib.php

Code:

if(is_file('/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/local/bin/spamassassin')){
    $spamassassin_path = '/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/local/bin/spamassassin';
  } else {
    $spamassassin_path = '/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/spamassassin';
  }

  // Variablen zuweisen
  $mod->tpl->assign( array(PREFS_FILE => $web_path."/user/".$user_username."/.user_prefs",
                           SPAM_COMMENT => $spam_comment,
                           SPAMASSASSIN_PATH => $spamassassin_path,
                                                   USERNAME => $user_username));

OKAY, lets replace spamassassin with spamc

Code:

condition
if(is_file('/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/local/bin/spamc')){
first line
$spamassassin_path = '/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/local/bin/spamc';
second line
$spamassassin_path = '/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/spamc';

BUT question : who is starting that deamon ??

Code:

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

what do you think? is my steps right?
please how to start spamd which is install by ISPc ?

 

well, I did disabled antivirus scan for all users already. to be sure I will check that.

I have done this update in DB

Code:

update isp_isp_user set status='u',antivirus=0,user_spamfilter=1;

yes, user can switch on antivirus scan on web. but this is not hapend often. usualy they have antivirus on their PC.

 

Run

Code:

touch /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/.run

to make the backend start rewrite the configuration.

 

that TOUCH is not helping to me

so I am starting SPAMD in script rl.local

Code:

cat /etc/rc.local
/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/spamd -d --max-children=2

exit 0

I did find out that modification of file

Code:

ispconfig/scripts/lib/classes/ispconfig_procmail.lib.php

is not good idea.

so I did modified only file

Code:

ispconfig/isp/conf/spamassassin.rc.master 

and this is my change

Code:

:0fw
* < 156000
# me | {SPAMASSASSIN_PATH} --prefs-file={PREFS_FILE}
| /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/spamc

 

install the spamc of the os

as i know right, ispconfig is NOT using or starting the spamd daemon.
for me (at debian) this solution works fine:


1) aptitude install spamassassin (to install the version of my os)

2) change /root/ispconfig/isp/conf/spamassassin.rc: | /usr/bin/spamc

3) update isp_isp_user set status='u' where status ) '';

4) change anything inside one user (to rewrite the files)

after this, everything works fine

 

I have a Debian Etch System .I installed spamassassin with apt-get and enabled it. I changed the path in /root/ispconfig/isp/conf/spamassassin.rc.master (/root/ispconfig/isp/conf/spamassassin.rc doesn't exist on my sys). I also updated the db and changed a usersetting. But I doen't get it running (spams aren't scanned anymore). What's my fault?

 

Any errors in your logs?

What's the output of

Code:

spamassassin --lint

?

 

I think I fixed it already. I changed in /root/ispconfig/isp/conf/spamassassin.rc.master

Code:

| {SPAMASSASSIN_PATH} --prefs-file={PREFS_FILE}

to

Code:

| /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/spamc

I hope what is right.

 

You should copy /root/ispconfig/isp/conf/spamassassin.rc.master to /root/ispconfig/isp/conf/customized_templates/spamassassin.rc.master to make sure this template won't be overwritten when you update ISPConfig.

 

thanks. is done.

 

Is this only a backup or will ispconfig use any matching template from the custom ones instead of the original?

 

ISPConfig will use the custom ones.

 

Great. Thanks!

 

Does this method still use the user's preferences file or should there still be a --prefs-file at the end of the spamc call?

Thanks

 

I have it running here on a machine and the settings from the users are still used by spamassassin.

 

Thanks for the information.

I wonder how this is possible. How does spamassassin know to use the user's pref file if it is not told to on the command?

 

Ah - brilliant. Thanks!
