Hi again, Setting up this very interesting SpamSnake. In 9.13 Move the Bayesian Databases and set-up permissions (skip this if you don't use bayes) The howto suggest to test the SpamAssasin here: If you want then you can test SpamAssassin to make sure that it is using the new databases correctly: Code: spamassassin -D -p /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf --lint My output is VERY long, but I'm wondering about these lines: [24758] dbg: plugin: Mail::SpamAssassin:lugin:: DNSEval=HASH(0x98a59c8) implements 'check_start', priority 0 [24758] dbg: bayes: no dbs present, cannot tie DB R/O: /etc/MailScanner/bayes/bayes_toks [24758] dbg: plugin: Mail::SpamAssassin:lugin::Check=HASH(0x969e848) implements 'check_main', priority 0 [24758] dbg: conf: trusted_networks are not configured; it is recommended that you configure trusted_networks manually I might have missed some steps, here - anyone please!
Hmm, Just after the post, i continued with the howto... And the creation of the database is created in the next step - kind a stupid to test a database, which aren't created yet. After the creation, everything works great: Code: spamassassin -x -D -p /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf --lint Gives this: [24974] dbg: bayes: database connection established [24974] dbg: bayes: found bayes db version 3 [24974] dbg: bayes: Using userid: 1 [24974] dbg: bayes: not available for scanning, only 0 spam(s) in bayes DB < 200 [24974] dbg: config: score set 0 chosen.
Ups, not everything.. After final reboot and then checking of the mailscanner I'm getting this: Code: tail -f /var/log/mail.log Dec 25 19:40:01 gandalf postfix/pickup[28553]: fatal: scan_dir_push: open direct ory maildrop: Permission denied Dec 25 19:40:02 gandalf postfix/master[3405]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/ pickup pid 28553 exit status 1 Dec 25 19:40:02 gandalf postfix/master[3405]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/pickup: bad command startup -- throttling Dec 25 19:42:01 gandalf postfix/pickup[28631]: fatal: scan_dir_push: open direct ory maildrop: Permission denied Dec 25 19:42:02 gandalf postfix/master[3405]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/ pickup pid 28631 exit status 1 Dec 25 19:42:02 gandalf postfix/master[3405]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/pickup: bad command startup -- throttling Dec 25 19:44:01 gandalf postfix/pickup[28716]: fatal: scan_dir_push: open direct ory maildrop: Permission denied Dec 25 19:44:02 gandalf postfix/master[3405]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/ pickup pid 28716 exit status 1 Dec 25 19:44:02 gandalf postfix/master[3405]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/pickup: bad command startup -- throttling Dec 25 19:45:05 gandalf postfix/master[3405]: terminating on signal 15 And looking at mailscanner webpage http://hostname/mailscanner gives me this: Warning: mysql_pconnect() [function.mysql-pconnect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) in /var/www/mailscanner/functions.php on line 509 Could not connect to database: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) Anyone got an idea ?
Hmm, I must have destroyed something, after the reboot: MySql won't run: Code: /etc/init.d/mysql start * Starting MySQL database server mysqld [fail]
Hmm, For some really strange reason, syslog don't work, I've just rebooted the system, but latest syslog is from yesterday? Here is the last lines from /var/log/syslog Dec 25 19:45:05 gandalf postfix/master[3405]: terminating on signal 15 Dec 25 19:45:06 gandalf mysqld[11141]: 081225 19:45:06 [Note] /usr/sbin/mysqld: Normal shutdown Dec 25 19:45:06 gandalf mysqld[11141]: Dec 25 19:45:06 gandalf mysqld[11141]: 081225 19:45:06 InnoDB: Starting shutdown...

Anyone got an idea for an alternative kind of "SpamSnake" to use in front of an Exchange 2003 Server? I'll prefer a Debian or Ubuntu based system, AND less complicated setup. I only need a SMTP with a spamfilter and virus scanner.
Hi Falko, As I'm not skilled enough to setup the Perfect SpamSnake, I've desided to re-install the Ubuntu 8.04 LTS base system. I have already done that, when you posted the reply I'll investegate the next days for the right solution for me in order to protect my Exchange 2003 server, which more and more of my mail recipients are ignoring due to the fact that my mail i delivered to ISP webhotel and after this brought to users by the MS POP Connector. This causes problems, as many (especially German mail administrators) are checking for MX DNS, and therefore they return mails from my Exchange server, when it sends mails directly - I've tried to use the webhotel SMTP server, but they only accept mails based on user level, which cause problems when xx@mydomain are sending mails through yy@mydomains account. The webhotel don't have a SMTP service for this setup For this i need some kind of SpamSnake - I'm looking at this right now: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixAmavisNew
I still have the same problem and exploring the web to find a solution, frustrated..can anyone pls help me out ?
