You need to have the database in a way that mimedefang can read and write. I am running Fedora Core 3 with mimedefang and spamassassin. mimedefang runs as the user defang and uses /etc/mail/spamassassin for its database area. How I set things up is the following: gather 100+ yam and 100+ spam messages for the broth. cp ham spam /tmp chmod 0444 /tmp/yam /tmp/spam su - root chown defang.defang /etc/mail/spamassassin chmod 0755 /etc/mail/spamassassin su -s /bin/bash - defang sa-learn --ham --mbox --dbpath /etc/mail/spamassassin/ /tmp/yam sa-learn --spam --mbox --dbpath /etc/mail/spamassassin/ /tmp/spam exit rm /tmp/yam /tmp/spam exit Thats about it. I am a small site with 4 email addresses so this works well. I have heard that for larger sites you will want to extend this with individual spamassassin databases as one mans spam is another mans yam. > Because I think spamassassin does not use this database, how can i test > this if it works? Well you should also make sure the lines in /etc/mail/mimedefang-filter are turned on: if ($Features{"SpamAssassin"}) { spam_assassin_init()->compile_now(1) if defined(spam_assassin_init()); if (defined($SASpamTester)) { use Mail::SpamAssassin::DBBasedAddrList; my $awl = Mail::SpamAssassin::DBBasedAddrList->new(); $SASpamTester->set_persistent_address_list_factory($awl) if defined($awl); } } and sub filter_end ($) { my($entity) = @_; return if message_rejected(); if ($Features{"SpamAssassin"}) { if (-s "./INPUTMSG" < 100*1024) { my($hits, $req, $names, $report) = spam_assassin_check(); my($score); if ($hits < 40) { $score = "*" x int($hits); } else { $score = "*" x 40; } if ($hits >= $req) { action_change_header("X-Spam-Score", "$hits ($score) $names"); md_graphdefang_log('spam', $hits, $RelayAddr); } else { } } } md_graphdefang_log('mail_in'); } If these are turned on you should see "X-Spam-Score" being added to your messages. -- Stephen J Smoogen.
