Re: Configuring SA as frontend to Exchange
Henry Kwan wrote: Hi, Have been running SA on CentOS for a few years now and everything has been working great. But the powers that be want to move to Exchange so I am trying to plan a SA frontend that feeds the Exchange server. As I was thinking over how SA works now and how it might work in the my future setup, I was wondering how you would feed unmarked spam to the SA frontend? Since email is passed through to Exchange, it isn't stored on the SA server anymore like it is now. Or would I be limited to just having SA autolearn? Henry, I think this is a fairly common configuration. You don't say which MTA you are using, but we do this with Exim running on Solaris. It is quite trivial to configure Exim to forward mail for our domains to the Exchange server and send outgoing mail, well, outwards. Exim can also be configured/compiled to call SpamAssassin and then flag or reject the email depending on the SA score. You can also add ClamAV (or any other virus or spam checker) to this mix. I am sure similar things are possible with your favourite MTA. Jon Armitage Systems Administrator 365 Media Group
Re: How to whitelist the recipient?
Roman Serbski escribió: How do I configure SA to whitelist particular recipient's email address? Actually, I think you need whitelist_to, same syntax as whitelist_from. There are other options: more_spam_to and all_spam_to. See the documentation at http://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.2.x/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.txt. However, it would probably be better to avoid sending the emails through SpamAssassin at all, but this would involve changing the configuration of whatever you use to call SpamAssassin.

100% of the non-English email we're getting is spam, so I added this to

However, I can't see that it's having any effect at all.
Steven,
I think you might need to uncomment
loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::TextCat
in /etc/mail/spamassassin/v310.pre (or your equivalent).
As an aside, I'm afraid I simply reject some of them out of hand if they
contain a particular MIME charset. Using an Exim ACL, I do:
denymessage = Sorry, no one speaks this language here.
condition = ${if eq{lc:$mime_charset}{gb2312}{1}{0}}
That one's simplified Chinese, but I reject other languages as well,
including Russian.
You may be able to do something similar with your MTA. And it's one less
message for SA to scan :)

Provided it is possible with your MTA, you could consider rejecting such email at that level, thus relieving SA of the burden of having to scan it at all. This is easy in Exim, but I don't know if other mailers can do the same thing. Jon

Re: newbie question: scan msgs smaller than certain size
Tom Bombadil wrote: Thanks for the response Loren, but unfortunately, as far as I know we can specify the spamd directive just once in exim. I realise we're getting OT here, but there are at least two ways to call SA from Exim, the built-in hook which you are using, and sa-exim, which calls SA via the local_scan() function. So you could call SA twice. Jon

Perl error after upgrade to 3.2.3
Apologies if I am asking in the wrong place, since I can see that there are several possible reasons. We have just upgraded to SpamAssassin 3.2.3 on an elderly 386 box running Red Hat 9. At the same time I used CPAN to upgrade any out-of-date perl modules. Now, when SA starts, we get the following error: Starting SpamAssassin daemon...

We use Redhat at work, for much the same reasons as everyone else does.
