RE: SPAMD dies

2005-07-17 Thread Howard Leadmon

 I run into this as well, sometimes it will run along great, and then just out
of the blue die with no reason or errors that I can find.  Actually happened
to me this morning, woke up to a pile of spam in my mailbox, and thought guess
spamd died off, time to restart it.

I have it running on FreeBSD 4.x and 5.x servers, and now actually 6.x
servers, and all of them seem to do this from time to time, and have with any
of the SA3.x releases up to the most current 3.0.4 version.  FYI, I use
procmail to invoke spamc and process via spamd, as sendmail uses procmail as
my delivery agent.

So though I don't have a solution, your sure not the only one that sees this
happen..  :)

  The system is running Redhat 9, Latest versions of Exim   spamassassin.
  Spamassassin uses pyzor, razor  dcc.
 
 What latest version of SpamAssassin are you using?  Have you (or a
 distribution maintainer) applied any patches to it?

My SpamD didn't die literally, but would stop functioning,
just seeming to hang when asked to classify spam.

I am running on Cygwin and put it down to the OS-environment,
but on testing the cvs snapshots (3.10pre4+) my initial, very 
brief evaluation (and hope) is that the problem is reduced
(or eliminated.)

HOWTO build milter-spamc on Mac/X Tiger

2005-07-17 Thread Dr Robert Young

Just as an update to those who have an interest,

gcc 4.0 and higher will cause problems with milter-spamc release  
0.25. The configure script puts in params that changed between gcc  
3.x and 4.x (specifically the -fvolatile ). It also has a problem  
with the -V .


gcc: argument to `-V' is missing
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option -fvolatile

Mac/X Tiger  has the 3.3 compiler installed as well, although 4.0.0  
is the default.

Use gcc_select -force 3.3 to make 3.3 the default.

Edit the configure script to make -o into -o  (note the space).  
Otherwise it will error on


/usr/bin/ld: unknown flag: -oconftest

Now it will build (of course in this example I still have to make  
libmilter  the Berkeley DB)


  Mutex: POSIX_API
  Shared Memory: POSIX_API
  Time.: BSD_API
  Berkeley DB..: not found
  libmilter: no
  CFLAGS...:  -D_REENTRANT -g -Wall -fvolatile
  LDFLAGS..:
  LIBS.: -lpthread

But at least it gets to the end without bombing out!!

Thanks to Anthony Howe for his help in pointing me in the right  
direction.

Re[2]: Rule Advice

Hello dennis,

dsc Ah, here is the From header:

dsc Not 6 digits, but maybe the degree symbol is contributing. I'll advise not
dsc to start the username with 360°.

dsc No, you misunderstood again.  The part the rule is hitting on is the 
dsc in the above example line.  Since the rule hit, I'm assuming this wan't
dsc really  in the original mail, but more like 10001monkeys or the
dsc like.

dsc Nope. It's a four letter name, like FRED. It didn't seem to
dsc be relevant to include the real full email address. Please let me
dsc know if you need it.

dsc This is also why I asked if you were referring to the
dsc Message-Id header since that is the only address that starts with
dsc six digits.

dsc I'm not sure what I keep misunderstanding. Can you elaborate?

Nope.  From these discussions, your email is hitting a rule that
supposedly it should not hit. The code for the rule is very clear
about what and where it should be hitting, and you claim it isn't
there.

The only way we can resolve this is if you send a full, untarnished,
complete and unedited, email which demonstrates this problem, with all
headers, as an attachment, to someone who can do the full diagnostics
on it to figure out what's happening.

I'm willing to be that someone if you want.
