Ah, that must be it.

I'm using spamass-milter to allow postfix to call spamassassin and this
must be the result of spamass-milter's configuration. I'll look into
the documentation today.

Indeed, but setting this had no effect.

Thenk you for the help, Bill.

Syslog local3

[Emmanuel Seyman]

Hello, all.

It's taken me nearly a year to realize this but spamassassin sends to
syslog with the local3 facility, not 'mail' as I had assumed.

Is this something that can be configured?

sa-learn on an Exchange public folder

[Emmanuel Seyman]

Hello all.

I've set up SA at $WORK and now want to train the bayesian classifier.
To that end, a public folder has been setup on our Exchange server and
I want to run sa-learn on any email that is transferred to it.

I'm guessing this is a popular thing to do and that there would already
be a wrapper around sa-learn on github but my Google-foo seems to be
off today.

Is there such a wrapper or do I have to write my own script?

Regards,
Emmanuel

 maillists often not remove originating sender addr, if thay did how
 can i get all that private emails orinating from maillists ?

I believe that rh is suggesting not to put email adresses in the body of
your mail if you're replying to a mailing-list.

Most of the times, these have public archives and while the archiving
software changes the addresses in the header to make them spambot-proof,
it doesn't do this for addresses in the body.

 Is it ok to send mail to salearn that has been tagged by spamassassin?

Yes (Spamassassin tags will be removed from the mails before they are
learnt from).

Re: Can't locate MLDBM.pm in @INC

[Emmanuel Seyman]

* Wolfgang Zeikat :

 With SpamAssassin version 3.1.8 running on Perl version 5.8.5, I get the
   spamd error Can't locate MLDBM.pm in @INC even after installing
 MLDBM.pm (on a redhat EL 4 based Scientific Linux system).

 # find / -iname MLDBM.pm
 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/IO/All/MLDBM.pm

This is the IO::All::MLDBM module, not the MLDBM one.

 How can I fix that?

Install the perl-MLDBM rpm which should be provided by your distribution.
If it doesn't exist, you can install the module from CPAN.
