Re: FuzzyOcr 3.5.1 released

2007-05-08 Thread Bill Maidment
The installation notes for Fedora Core (version 5 and 6) should say that the 
rpm needed
is giflib-utils not libungif-utils. Can someone amend the wiki please? I don't 
know how
to use a wiki (in fact I really don't like them).

Thanks

Re: FuzzyOcr mailing list

2006-08-21 Thread Bill Maidment

Hi
Thanks for a great addition to Spamassassin. Please keep it on the 
Spamassassin list (except for configuration help). I have found it very 
useful so far using the 2.2 beta1.
I have made a small change for my purposes, which was needed because the 
temporary files were not unique using mimedefang. I added a date/time 
stamp to the file names in the perl  module:


my $firstline = ($p->decode())[0];
-->my $ts = time;
-->my $tempfile = $tmppath . "/" . "spamassassin.$$" . $ts . ".focr";
-->my $errfile = $tmppath . "/" . "spamassassin.$$" . $ts . ".focr.err";
if ($firstline =~ /^\x47\x49\x46/) {

This is useful if the temp files get left behind after a failure like this:
Aug 21 20:38:21 b090lx4 mimedefang-multiplexor[26383]: Slave 1 stderr: 
giftopnm:
Aug 21 20:38:21 b090lx4 mimedefang-multiplexor[26383]: Slave 1 stderr: 
error reading magic number

Aug 21 20:38:21 b090lx4 mimedefang-multiplexor[26383]: Slave 1 stderr:
Aug 21 20:38:21 b090lx4 mimedefang-multiplexor[26383]: Slave 1 stderr: 
(null):
Aug 21 20:38:21 b090lx4 mimedefang-multiplexor[26383]: Slave 1 stderr: 
EOF / read error reading magic number

Aug 21 20:38:21 b090lx4 mimedefang-multiplexor[26383]: Slave 1 stderr:

BTW What causes this type of error?
Cheers
Bill

Ooops, found your attachment.  Nothing obvious.  
Grab a real spam and send it thru spamassassin  
Then run the same thru spamd.  See if scores match.

If not, just replace spamd with spamassassin in your procmail or whatever
you use for local delivery.  See if that helps.

see if you have more than one copy of spamd around.  Like in the wrong 
directory.


Run spamd -h 
and see if its the right version.  



  

Ooops for me too. I'd made two mistakes.
1. I'm running mimedefang, so spamd is irrelevant to my problem as it is 
the mimdefang daemon that is handling the email.
2. I'd accidentally deleted the $SALocalTestsOnly = 0; line in my 
mimedefang-filter.


Many thanks for your help. At least I've learnt a bit about debugging 
spamassassin in the process.

Cheers

Hello,

Recently I installed some rbl rules, using DNS, enabled rbl checks in
the config etc. It all works fine with spamassassin < message. I see
several scores from blacklists, so it is working.

The problem is, spamc/spamd don't use these rules, they simply ignore
rbl for the same kind of spam. I've restarted spamd and verified that it
isn't set to local tests only.



Sounds like spamd was started with -L
This is a favorite SuSE trick.  If running SuSE see /etc/sysconfig/spamd
If running something else, check what starts spamd.  Also view
you /var/log/messages as spamd starts because some distros put
spamd in strange places and you end up running the old one, not the new 
one.  

  

Hi
I've got a similar problem. I've just moved from a 32 bit AMD to a 64 
bit AMD for my external mail server and now the rbls don't trigger. I'm 
not using -L as the following from ps shows.
27386 ?Ss 0:05 /usr/bin/spamd -d -q -x -m5 -H -r 
/var/run/spamd.pid


I've got another 32 bit AMD for the internal mail server with identical 
setup and the rbls trigger on that one.


sa-mimedefang.cf has
skip_rbl_checks 0
dns_available yes

Any clues where to start looking?

I'm about to go the same way. I believe mimedefang only works in
