greetings that recent thread about 'best anti spam thing' got me thinkin again about trying spamassassin.
I've been wanting to try it for a while but haven't gotten around to it. So today i dove in! I followed the directions loosly here: http://advosys.ca/papers/postfix-filtering.html I am not using procmail(because of cyrus), so that portion I ignored but I am using the filter.sh script with postfix. I had to compile/install spamassasin, spamc, and libnet-smtp-server-perl from testing and installed it. It seems to be working after some trouble. The guide above seems to configure postfix in a non chroot enviornment which is not debian's default. So I went through the pains of setting up a valid chroot enviornment in /var/spool/postfix so that all of the tools could work (perl, libraries etc). But it seems the system doesn't run that script in chroot so I think I can remove it? That is, despite telling postfix "-" to chroot(default yes) it still writes the log to the real /tmp and uses the real /usr/local/var/spool/filter instead of the /var/spool/postfix/usr/local/var/spool/filter. I sent a few test messages and they came back with some new headers so I think it is working: X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.3 required=5.0 tests=MISSING_MIMEOLE,MISSING_OUTLOOK_NAME,MSG_ID_ADDED_BY_MTA_3, SPAM_PHRASE_00_01 version=2.42 X-Spam-Level: *** X-Sanitizer: This message has been sanitized! X-Sanitizer-URL: http://mailtools.anomy.net/ X-Sanitizer-Rev: $Id: Sanitizer.pm,v 1.54 2002/02/15 16:59:07 bre Exp $ So my main question is does anyone on the list have any experiences with the above combo of software(in subject line) on woody that they could share with me? Is there a better way to impmliment spamassasin? and any tuning tips? For the moment I turned off all checks in sanitizer just so I could be sure that the script works, after watching my mail logs for a few more hours for any errors I will start turning back on some of the default options to see if it causes trouble. thanks! nate (spamassassin & sanitizer newbie) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
