2007-07-08 Thread Sandeep Agarwal

hello list,

i have spamssassin 3.2.1 with perl 5.8.8 and Fuzzyocr 3.5.1. Alls
working fine but the mail dump below passed through the
spamassassin/Fuzzyocr checks. It a image based spam but the text in
the images are strikedthrough.

Find the file that loads the plugin and make it stop.  The -D output ought to
make it simple to figure out the file that's doing it.

Have you checked *all* your .pre files and also any rules? iirc there
are some whitelist rules that are on rulesemporium, perhaps you have
one installed?

Hi there!

I've always had AWL disabled in my v310.pre file since sa 3.1.7. We
recently moved from 3.1.8 to 3.2.1. It still is commented out in the cf
file, but I'm getting AWL scores in messages. spamassassin -D --lint
shows one line stating the plugin has been loaded.

does anyone know why this is happenning?
does anyone know how to force-disable it?

If it is available, spamassassin will use dccifd in preference to
dccproc.

Setting up a caching nameserver is documented for various operating
systems on the SA wiki page.  I also run Debian amd64.

  http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/CachingNameserver

For your Debian machine it is very easy with the following commands.

  $ sudo apt-get update
  $ sudo apt-get install bind9

The default package configuration is a caching nameserver and the
above commands should be all that is needed to set up and configure it
this way.  Check /etc/resolv.conf for nameserver entries and modify or
change the file as needed to say 'nameserver 0.0.0.0' (okay to use
'nameserver 127.0.0.1' with modern software too).  See the wiki page
for general information.

I highly recommend the 'resolvconf' package to coordinate the
automated editing of the /etc/resolv.conf file by the various
subsystems such as dhcp, dns, udev scripts, etc.

  $ sudo apt-get install resolvconf

The resolvconf scripts run when the interface is brought online.
Since the network will already be online when resolvconf is installed
it won't do anything with /etc/resolv.conf at that moment but will
rewrite that file the next time the networking for an interface is
restarted.  Especially for dhcp interfaces this nicely coordinates and
wraps up the configuration so that the nameserver entries are updated
automatically.

It "works for me" on my Debian amd64 machine.  (shrug)

To me it seams as though spamassassin uses allways dccproc. And it competes

I just want to know what happens there and why I get these errors.

Sorry, Debian unstable amd64. SA has been slow on it for ages; it's only

Re: dccifd and spamassassin

2007-07-08 Thread Mikael Syska

Hi,

from the mailscanner page:
http://wiki.mailscanner.info/doku.php?id=documentation:anti_spam:spamassassin:plugins:dcc:dccifd_install&do=diff1162335096

Dccifd(8) is similar to dccproc but is not run separately for each mail
message and so is far more efficient.  It receives mail messages via a
socket somewhat like dccm, but with a simpler protocol that can be used
by Perl scripts or other programs.

Vernon Schryver 


dccproc involves a fork() and exec() and then sending the message through
a pipe to the child process and receiving the answer.
dccifd need only send the message over UNIX domain socket to a daemon
and receiving the answer.

Dccproc must open, validate, and mmap() the whiteclnt and whiteclnt.dccw
files, while dccifd caches open files and mmap() regions.
Dccproc also creates creates a socket to talk to the DCC server while
dccifd caches open sockets. 

Hopes that answers your question ... so if you have a smal mail gw ... I 
dont see the point in running the daemon, if there are plenty of resources.

installation instructions that I should enable dccifd if I use spamassassin. 
So I did. Now I get the following errors in my logs:

Is it really necessary to enable dccifd? If yes, what will I do to avoid these 
errors?


Any help is greatly appreciated.

I use a small reseller (ukfsn.org) of a large ISP (enta.net). Enta's
support is better than average, and ukfsn also has its own servers for
several critical services, including DNS, and you can actually get in
contact with the person who runs them. I'm quite sure he's more capable
of configuring bind than I am!
