 So, having run find / -type f | xargs grep -i spamassassin-toaster-
 root, I find the following:
 
 /usr/bin/sa-compile:my $LOCAL_RULES_DIR = '/var/tmp/spamassassin-
 toaster-root/etc/mail/spamassassin';# substituted at 'make' time
 /usr/bin/sa-learn:my $LOCAL_RULES_DIR = '/var/tmp/spamassassin-
 toaster-root/etc/mail/spamassassin';  # substituted at 'make' time
 /usr/bin/sa-update:my $LOCAL_RULES_DIR = '/var/tmp/spamassassin-
 toaster-root/etc/mail/spamassassin';# substituted at 'make' time
 /usr/bin/sa-update: 'LOCAL_RULES_DIR'   = '/var/tmp/
 spamassassin-toaster-root/etc/mail/spamassassin',
 /usr/bin/sa-update:/var/tmp/spamassassin-toaster-root/etc/
 mail/spamassassin/sa-update-keys
 Binary file /usr/bin/spamc matches
 /usr/bin/spamd:my $LOCAL_RULES_DIR = '/var/tmp/spamassassin-toaster-
 root/etc/mail/spamassassin';# substituted at 'make' time
 /usr/bin/spamassassin:my $LOCAL_RULES_DIR = '/var/tmp/spamassassin-

 /usr/bin/spamassassin:=item /var/tmp/spamassassin-toaster-root/etc/
 mail/spamassassin
 /usr/bin/spamassassin:=item /var/tmp/spamassassin-toaster-root/etc/
 mail/spamassassin
 
 So this clearly came into place when I added sa-update in place of
 RulesDuJour this past weekend. I don't know if that's normal or not,
 but I'm assuming not, since no one else recognized that path or
 considered it valid except during build/compile/install.
 
 Chkrootkit found nothing.
 
 My guess would be, at this point, I open sa-compile, sa-learn, sao-
 update, etc., in vi, find those instances of that directory and
 redirect them to where they should be? Which would be /etc/mail/
 spamassassin ?
 


No , you will just end up pulling your hair out , especially if you have
to try and guess paths .. rebuild the entire sa package using rpmbuild
... 

The sa-learn, sa-compile, and sa-update files are created upon SA
installation, so I can't see how just setting up sa-update would rebuild
everything like that unless you used some type of automated sa-update
configurator or something... (?)

The spamassassin executable (perl script) should look something like:

$ strings /usr/bin/spamassassin | grep LOCAL

my $LOCAL_RULES_DIR = '/etc/mail/spamassassin';# substituted at
'make' time
my $LOCAL_STATE_DIR = '/var/lib/spamassassin';# substituted at
'make' time
LOCAL_RULES_DIR = $LOCAL_RULES_DIR,
LOCAL_STATE_DIR = $LOCAL_STATE_DIR,

(This is from a sendmail box, so the paths may be different. I can't get
into my toaster server right now. :\

  I'm just jumping in on the tail of this, but you can try and

  the smack down if you want. Or you can quit using the software I

  qtp-sa-update does not touch the SA executables at all. I don't
  even
  know where you would get the idea if you even looked at the
  script. I
  think if you do your due diligence you'll see the script does
  almost
  exactly what the 2 links you provided do almost step by step.
  Looking at the error, it looks like a remnant left over from
  when the
  spamassassin-toaster package spec file was broken or at least
  acting
  weird.
  I'd suggest rebuilding the package (spamassassin-toaster). It
 looks
  like you got one of the many bugs reported on the list by this
  latest
  version or revert to an older version.
  (to recap: the qtp-sa-update script removed the RDJ rules if they
  were there from an older version of QTP, then installs the
  Apache/Spamassassin channel, then installs the OpenProtect
 channel.
  It doesn't touch the executable at all)

I understand that, that's awesome, I would go join bind-users for
ego-strokes and flame-wars. What I'm asking is if this project has any
real version control. No answer so far..?.

 
 I think the fact that you've worked with qmail since '02 and ended up
 with
 QMT speaks volumes. You couldn't build a reliable mail server in 6
 years?
 You're right that it's not trivial.
 

Well my friend, not to burst your bubble, but it's my personal home mail
server, just for fun. (I really only care about my web server) .. Yes, I
had built the old one six years ago, and many others since for other
people. If you are implying that it took me 6 years to build a server,
and that it is *that* complex, that's pretty funny.. I could have just
as easily used sendmail, since I only need one account nowadays, but was
feeling lazy and did not want to deal with m4 over my last winter break.
I had just installed 1.5 mil of new hardware.. I was a bit tired. ..
should I apologize to you now too? :0)

Back to the point.. version control ,

 Yes and no. I did not mess up the pre files. The line in question is
 there in the proper file.
 
 However, the additional testing measures suggested there have yielded
 other results. When I shell in as vpopmail user and --lint, I get :
 warn : config: path /var/tmp/spamassassin-toaster-root/etc/mail/
 spamassassin is inaccessible: Permission denied
 
 I've tried going back to root and chowning this to vpopmail:vchkpw.
 The outcome/error does not change. Somehow, this must be the problem,
 but I know I didn't make this happen and I don't know how to correct
 it.
 
 Help?

RE: [qmailtoaster] Re: Soft Rejections

2008-05-07 Thread James Pratt
You can also try modifying /var/qmail/supervise/spamd/run and add a -D
to the spamd startup option. This will make spamd output lots of mostly
useless information to /var/log/qmail/spamd/current, which may or may
not help you figure it out.. (Obviously, you have to restart spamd etc) 

I can't think of anything else or why it may have happened. I've had a
similar issue before with the config path being un-readable, but on
sendmail and mimedefang, not qmail or qtp. :\

RE: [qmailtoaster] Re: Soft Rejections

2008-05-07 Thread James Pratt
I'd probably start with: 

find / -type f | xargs grep -i spamassassin-toaster-root 

(that will find any file on the system containing that string)

if that fails, run a --lint -D with strace like I mentioned - you should
see what is calling it from where and how in the output . 

lastly, Does that folder even exist in /var/tmp, or is it trying to be
created and failing with the error?

 To be honest, I have no clue what it is used for. I didn't create it.
 I didn't ask for it. I would have to assume that something within
 SpamAssassin for Toaster is doing this. But if it's a path no one
 else here has heard of, then I don't know what would have set it up
 to use this.
 
 To me, it looks like a chrooted spamassassin. But I don't know why
 that would be in place. How would you suggest I go about looking for
 whatever is creating or calling for it?

RE: [qmailtoaster] Re: Soft Rejections

2008-05-07 Thread James Pratt
With all due respect, I see *nothing* that indicates *any* sort of dns
issue here. The problem is that the Spamassassin installation is trying
to create temp files in a very non-standard directory, as Eric said in a
prior post.

I would guess the build is just plain messed up - what does rpm -ql
Spamassassin-toaster say? Inspect the rebuild output closely after. Do
not rebuild it as the root user.

If I were you, I would re-rpmbuild, and also run chkrootkit, and/or
rkhunter... many people (still!) compile things as root. That is a very
bad thing, qmail or no. :(

 No, nothing in the blacklists file. And Spamassassin's RBL checks are
 turned off in local.cf.
 I'm running chrooted Bind, not a caching nameserver.
 
 And yes. I was su - into vpopmail's shell to run the spamassassin --

  Are you running spamassassin commands with sudo -u vpopmail -h?
  You need to always run spamassassin as vpopmail user. Otherwise it
  won't
  pick up the correct environment.

resolve?  (dig is your friend when having dns issues - also,

But from one place i got the following details,

 host -t mx dimerco.com
dimerco.com mail is handled by 10 HK.dimerco.com.
dimerco.com mail is handled by 20 ecms.dimerco.com.

ping HK.dimerco.com
PING HK.dimerco.com (202.82.211.48) 56(84) bytes of data.

Can i write in my /var/qmail/control/smtproutes file as 

dimerco.com:202.82.211.48

To solve this in a temporary  manner?
