Hello list,
I believe I've uncovered the problems with vqadmin and qmailadmin. It
has to do with apache. Here's the solution:
# systemctl show httpd | grep ProtectHome
ProtectHome=read-only
# sed -i 's/ProtectHome=.*/ProtectHome=no/g'
/usr/lib/systemd/system/httpd.service
# systemctl daemon-reload
# systemctl restart httpd
# systemctl show httpd | grep ProtectHome
ProtectHome=no

As for qmailadmin/vqadmin I believe there have been changes to Apache
permissions (and/or root directory) which I have failed to figure out
so far.
As for rspamd/rspamc (sending a message from another host: cat

Hi,
The Problem : I don’t see rspamd in headers (X-Spam-Flag,
X-Spamd-Result) of incoming email.
My understanding is, in Qmail Toaster (QMT) on Rocky Linux 10,
incoming emails are filtered for spam using this pipeline:
1. *qmail-smtpd*
* Handles incoming SMTP connections.
* Applies checks configured in tcp.smtp (RBL lookups, DNS
checks, HELO checks, etc.).
2. *qmail-queue wrapper (qmail-scanner / simscan)*
* Incoming mail is passed through *Simscan* (bundled in QMT).
* Simscan invokes:
o *ClamAV* → virus scanning.
o *SpamAssassin* → spam scoring.
* If mail is marked as spam:
o Action is based on simcontrol settings.
o Options include: reject, add headers, quarantine, or pass
with a tag.
3. *SpamAssassin rules*
* Uses local rules in /etc/mail/spamassassin/ and network
checks (DNSBL, Pyzor, Razor, DCC if enabled).
* Score thresholds:
o required_score (default 5.0 in QMT).
o Above threshold → X-Spam-Flag: YES header added.
4. *Delivery to vpopmail/Maildir*
* Final delivery by *qmail-local* to Maildir under vpopmail.
* SpamAssassin-modified headers can be used by user-level
filters (e.g. Sieve, procmail, or Roundcube filters).
5. *Control knobs*
* /var/qmail/control/simcontrol → defines what simscan does
with spam/viruses.
* /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf → adjusts scoring and rules.
Summary:
QMT filters spam at two points—SMTP-level rejections (RBL, HELO,
etc.) and content-level analysis (Simscan + SpamAssassin). Final
disposition is governed by simcontrol and SpamAssassin’s scoring rules.
Rspamd is not part of the classic QMT stack (which uses Simscan +
SpamAssassin). If we have installed Rspamd into QMT on EL10, it comes
into play only if we explicitly integrate it in the mail path. By
default, Simscan does not call Rspamd.
There are two common integration points:
1. *SMTP-time integration (preferred)*
* qmail-smtpd hands mail to *rspamd-proxy* via milter or proxy
mode.
* Rspamd analyses the message before it hits qmail-queue.
* If spam threshold is exceeded, Rspamd can reject, greylist,
or add headers at SMTP time.
2. *Queue-time integration*
* Replace Simscan+SpamAssassin with Rspamd in the qmail-queue
wrapper.
* Mail is accepted first, then passed to Rspamd for scanning.
* Rspamd annotates headers (X-Spam-Flag, X-Spamd-Result, etc.)
and returns it for delivery.
I hope you get what I am trying to say here.

We know what doesn't work with qmailadmin; however, if you'd show us
what doesn't work in vqadmin and rspamd it would save time tracking
it down.
P.S.
I've been using rspamc in simscan on my EL10 box with no problem.

Hi,
During testing on Rocky 10, the following issues were observed:
1. Qmailadmin not working
2. Vqadmin not working
3. Difficulty in getting Rspamd working
Assistance from Eric and other experienced members would be
greatly appreciated in resolving these.
Thanks in advance.

This one I'm having trouble with. Everything looks as it should.
I'm running Proxmox VM and having the same issue. Will let you
know when its resolved. If anyone wants to jump in it would not
hurt my feelings.

I have a fresh install of Rocky 10, running on Oracle Virtualbox
I did a minimal install of Rocky 10, and then the QMT Install
script was run without any errors.
A test domain systems.lcl was added during the end of install
process.
Tried to login to qmailadmin, I get the following error.
what could be the problem?
