A couple of items... 1. If you're using MailScanner then you don't need to run spamc/spamd. MailScanner accesses SpamAssassin's libraries directly for increased speed. 2. If you're running MailScanner and are using it to call SpamAssassin then the SpamAssassin rules go in /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf. This file is used instead of /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf so any changes you make there aren't going to take affect. Some people symbolic link local.cf to spam.assassin.prefs.conf. 3. I don't believe it's necessary to add the rule to use razor in the config files. It won't do any harm but it's the default. 4. SpamAssassin 2.50 is pretty old. You should upgrade it to 2.55. There were several bugs fixes added and the spammers started customizing the emails to get around the rules in 2.50. 2.55 is MUCH better. 5. If you include the X-MailScanner id's in the header you should change the default. Some of the latest virii are faking these header lines to be X-MailScanner: found to be clean since some people were screen on these. I suggest you make sure you're edited MailScanner.conf to tell it to use SpamAssassin and turn on the spamassassin display. There are at least two of these. One shows the rules that were triggered and the other shows the actual numeric scores. If you want to see if razor is working then you just need to turn on the rule hits (check the header of this message) If you really get into this then instal DCC and pyzor. SpamAssassin will automatically use them too. Also, install ClamAV and turn it on inside of MailScanner. It's a great open source virus scanner. MailScanner will then scan all your emails with F-Prot and ClamAV. The idea is that if one is a little slow in updating its virus files then other is likely picking off the new variants!
