Hi,
Two questions.
1) I notice various files such as bigevil.cf in the mailscanner directory. The contents of these cf files are repeated in spam.assassin.prefs.conf.advanced I tried deleting the contents out of spam.assassin.prefs.conf.advanced and just using the cf files which makes it easier to update these files. After doing it spamassassin quit using the rules. It seems that the rules must be in the conf file. Is there a setting to tell spamassassin to use the cf files ?
The spamassassin prefs file can be set in /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf:
SpamAssassin Prefs File = /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf.advanced
Restart openprotect by running "openprotect restart". Actually, spam.assassin.prefs.conf.advanced is the superset of all the individual rulesets.
The individual files are there, so that from the next version of openprotect onwards, daily updates of these rulesets will be possible using "rules du jour".
So, if you want to use just one of the rulesets, set that filename in MailScanner.conf and restart openprotect. If you want to use all of them, set it to spam.assassin.prefs.conf.advanced and restart openprotect.
2) I read on some website's that you should run "spamassassin -d --lint" after creating new cf files to find any typos. I do not have a binary called spamassassin. I tried running spamd but it does not recognize the --lint option. Is there a way to have spamassassin test it's config files?
Thanks for all your help.
The SpamAssassin program must have been installed, if you've selected SpamAssassin during openprotect installation. If not, try reinstalling spamassassin-2.63 once again.
Also, you've to use the following command line for checking syntax:
"spamassassin --lint -c /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf.advanced"
